Does it constitute infringement to sell goods that infringe the exclusive right to use trademarks without knowing it?
Legal subjectivity:

Even unwittingly selling goods that infringe the exclusive right to use a registered trademark constitutes infringement of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark. At the same time, the law stipulates that if the infringer doesn't know and can prove that the goods were legally obtained by himself and explain the supplier, the administrative department for industry and commerce shall order him to stop selling. Uninformed infringers also need to bear the tort liability of stopping selling the product and providing purchase channels to assist in investigating the source of fake and inferior products. Paragraph 2 of Article 60 of the Trademark Law clearly stipulates that if the sale of a commodity that is unknown to infringe the exclusive right to use a registered trademark can prove that the commodity was legally obtained by itself and explained to the supplier, the administrative department for industry and commerce shall order it to stop selling.

Article 60

If one of the acts listed in Article 57 of this Law infringes on the exclusive right to use a registered trademark and causes disputes, the parties concerned shall settle them through consultation;

Unwilling to negotiate or failing to negotiate, the trademark registrant or interested party may bring a lawsuit to the people's court or request the administrative department for industry and commerce to handle it. When the administrative department for industry and commerce finds that the infringement is established, it shall be ordered to immediately stop the infringement, confiscate and destroy the infringing goods and tools mainly used to manufacture infringing goods and forge registered trademarks. If the illegal business amount is more than 50,000 yuan, a fine of less than five times the illegal business amount may be imposed; if there is no illegal business amount or the illegal business amount is less than 50,000 yuan, a fine of less than 250,000 yuan may be imposed. Whoever commits trademark infringement twice or more within five years or has other serious circumstances shall be given a heavier punishment. The administrative department for industry and commerce shall order the sale of goods that are not known to infringe the exclusive right to use a registered trademark, and can prove that the goods are legally obtained by themselves, indicating the supplier.
