Summary
Trademark infringement is rampant, all because of the low difficulty of infringement and the large benefits, and on the contrary, the high cost of rights protection, so it has been repeatedly prohibited.
However, with the increasing importance of intellectual property rights in the country, the vigorous protection of intellectual products by the law, the means of rights protection are becoming more and more simple, and the rights protection of businesses is becoming more and more active, and batch rights protection has gradually become a trend.
From the above cases, it is not difficult to see that the batch rights protection adopted by Naaisi Group, from the filing of the case to the conclusion of the trial in just a few months, quickly cracked down on the merchants who infringed on their trademark rights and interests and sold counterfeit products, and safeguarded their own rights and interests.
