Malicious cybersquatting refers to the act of preempting the registration of trademarks, domain names or trade names that have been used by others in this field or related fields and have certain influence by unfair means for the purpose of making profits. Simple cybersquatting is generally well-intentioned, and a trademark is cybersquatting without knowing it. Article 31 of the Trademark Law stipulates that "a trademark that has been used by others and has certain influence shall not be registered in advance by improper means".
