Is it illegal to print a company logo on a mask?

It is not illegal, but printing other company logos is not allowed to cause infringement. If you produce and sell fake products, you may face three or ten times civil claims from consumers. Many businesses believe that this risk is just a drop in the bucket compared to the current high profits of masks, so they still choose to take risks. In the field of trademark litigation, adhering to the principle of "punishment should be punished", production activities are the source of infringement, and the liability must be the most severe. You need to be responsible for all infringements in the production, supply, and sales chain. According to the provisions of my country's Trademark Law, the amount of damages for trademark infringement shall be determined based on the multiple of actual losses, profits from infringement, and license royalties. If the malicious infringement is serious, the amount shall be calculated between one and five times the amount determined according to the above method. If it is difficult to determine, a compensation of less than 5 million yuan may be awarded. In the current epidemic situation, the purpose of masks to prevent and control the epidemic and the risk of infection caused by counterfeiting are all factors that judges determine the amount of compensation. For the production and sale of a large number of fake masks, the compensation will be severely awarded, doubled, or even awarded the highest compensation. There is a possibility.
