The issue of intellectual property infringement has long plagued various industries, and in recent years, rapidly developing e-commerce platforms have become a gathering place for counterfeit and inferior products. Protecting rights and combating counterfeits through legal channels is an important way for enterprises to maintain market share and promote brand development. Rengang Yongsheng has a thorough understanding of China's intellectual property system and legal system, and can assist enterprises in mainland China, Hong Kong, and overseas in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests.

Rights protection channels

Negotiate and reconcile

After discovering the infringement, the rights holder shall negotiate with the infringer to resolve the issue, demand the cessation of the infringement or propose civil compensation. Negotiation and settlement is a quick way to resolve disputes.

Administrative investigation and punishment

After discovering trademark, patent, or copyright infringement, the rights holder shall file an appeal to the relevant government department, which shall investigate and handle it in accordance with the law. Administrative investigations have the advantages of simple filing and low cost, but do not have judicial jurisdiction.

Judicial protection

After discovering the infringement, the right holder shall file a civil lawsuit with a court with jurisdiction to demand compensation. The judicial adjudication process is more complex and more suitable for complex intellectual property infringement issues such as trade secrets and proprietary technologies.

Characteristics of Rights Protection

Intellectual property anti-counterfeiting has the characteristics of strong professionalism and high complexity, and the process of safeguarding rights may involve legal issues, which generally require entrusting professional institutions to handle.

Different ways of protecting rights have their own advantages and disadvantages, and rights holders can use them simultaneously to achieve the best protection effect.

Building a long-term intellectual property protection mechanism should combine prevention and control. In addition to post event rights protection, enterprises should protect intellectual property (such as trademark registration, patent application, copyright registration, etc.) and establish a system for protecting trade secrets.
