Trademark litigation is divided into three types, one is administrative litigation, one is civil litigation, and the other is criminal litigation.

Trademark administrative litigation refers to a judicial relief method that refuses to accept the specific administrative act made by the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board or the local industrial and commercial bureaus and requests the court to review the legality of the act.

Trademark civil litigation refers to a judicial remedy in which the registered trademark holder believes that his trademark has been infringed in terms of ownership disputes, transfer licenses, and improper use of registered trademarks, and requests the court to confirm the result of the infringement and obtain corresponding compensation.

Trademark criminal litigation refers to the legal system in which the public security, procuratorate and court investigate the criminal responsibility of other people in accordance with legal procedures if they print, counterfeit trademarks, mixed and mixed trademarks in the process of manufacturing, selling and using other people's registered trademarks and logos, resulting in serious social impact or sales reaching more than 50000 yuan.

These three types of litigation require the participation of professional trademark lawyers in order to maximize their trademark interests.

The 1. People's Court accepts the following trademark cases:

1. Cases of disobedience to the review decision or ruling made by the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board of the administrative department for industry and commerce under the State Council (hereinafter referred to as the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board);
