Are domestic trademarks as infringing as foreign trademarks?
If a domestic trademark is the same as a foreign trademark, it is infringement, and a well-known foreign trademark is registered in China. Article 13 of the Trademark Law: A trademark applied for registration on the same or similar goods is a well-known trademark copied, imitated or translated by others. If it is likely to cause confusion, it shall not be registered and its use shall be prohibited. Domestic rush to register foreign famous trademarks is regarded as infringement. If the country has signed an intellectual property protection agreement with China, or both of them are within the system of international conventions on intellectual property rights, the trademarks registered in the country are also protected by China. At present, from the Paris Convention to TRIPs, countries have only corresponding regulations on the protection of well-known trademarks. If it is a non-well-known trademark, you can register a non-well-known trademark of another country in your country. This is no problem. As long as the domestic trademark office approves it, there will be no consequences. As for foreign trademark holders who know this information and come to raise objections and disputes, that is another story.
