Trying to circumvent infringement lawsuits by using legal gray areas is unethical and has legal risks. It should not be encouraged. The following is a detailed analysis: - **Legal gray areas are not legal safe havens** - Legal gray areas refer to areas where legal provisions are unclear or controversial and cannot be considered legal ways to circumvent. Even if you may temporarily escape attention in some cases, you will still be held legally liable once you are found to be infringing. - For example, some counterfeits may make minor changes in trademarks, appearance designs, etc., trying to blur the boundaries with genuine products, but this practice is likely to constitute infringement. - **Related laws and consequences** - **Trademark Law**: Without the permission of the trademark registrant, using a trademark identical to its registered trademark on the same kind of goods, or using a trademark similar to its registered trademark on similar goods, which is likely to cause confusion, and selling goods that infringe the exclusive right of a registered trademark, are all acts of infringement of trademark rights. If the circumstances are serious, it may constitute a crime. In addition to compensating the losses of the infringed party, criminal liability should be pursued in accordance with the law. - **Patent Law**: Implementing a patent without the permission of the patent owner is an infringement of its patent rights. The amount of compensation for infringement of patent rights is determined according to the actual losses suffered by the right holder due to infringement. - **Possible legal liabilities** - **Civil compensation**: The right holder must be compensated for the losses suffered by the infringement, including direct losses and indirect losses. The amount of compensation for losses shall be determined according to the actual losses suffered by the right holder due to the infringement. - **Administrative penalties**: The market supervision and management department has the right to order the immediate cessation of infringement, confiscate and destroy the infringing goods and the tools mainly used to manufacture infringing goods and forge registered trademarks, and impose a fine. - **Criminal penalties**: If the infringement is serious, it may constitute a crime and criminal liability must be borne. The crime of counterfeiting registered trademarks, the crime of selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks, the crime of illegal manufacturing, and the crime of selling illegally manufactured registered trademarks may all be involved. Respecting intellectual property rights and conducting business through legal channels is the right path to sustainable development. For example, investing in R&D to create its own unique technology, or legally cooperating with the brand to obtain authorization, etc.
