EU Trademark Infringement Regulations
1. Use the same or similar trademarks as those registered by others in Europe in any EU country and use them on similar goods/services.

Use the same or similar trademarks as the European registered trademarks that others have achieved high reputation on non-similar goods/services.

2. Every EU country must designate a special court to accept the infringement litigation of EU registered trademarks, as well as the revocation or invalidation litigation of EU registered trademarks. When trying the above-mentioned cases, the court applied the European trademark law to the pure European trademark dispute case, and applied the host country's law to the damages.

3. In the case of a special agreement between the two parties, an infringement lawsuit may be filed in the country where the defendant is located or the country where the principal place of business is located; Otherwise, an infringement lawsuit shall be filed in the country where the plaintiff has his domicile or principal place of business. If both parties have no domicile or business premises in EU countries, the infringement lawsuit shall be filed in Spain. The courts established by EU countries to accept European trademark infringement lawsuits have jurisdiction over all infringements within the EU.

4. Infringement proceedings can also be brought in the country where the infringement occurred, but the jurisdiction of the courts in that country will be limited to compensation for the damage caused by the infringement in that country.
