made by the administrative authority for industry and commerce to order
him to stop the infringing act or to impose a fine, he may, within fifteen

compensation for the damages suffered by the infringee.
Where any party counterfeits, or makes, without authorization,
representations of a registered trademark of another person, or sells such
representations of a registered trademark as were counterfeited, or made

crime, he shall be prosecuted, according to law, for his criminal
liabilities in addition to his compensation for the damages suffered by
the infringee.
Where any party sells goods that he knows bear a counterfeited registered

Article 38.
Any of the following acts shall be an infringement of the exclusive right
to use a registered trademark:
(1) to use a trademark that is identical with or similar to a registered
trademark in respect of the same or similar goods without the
authorization of the proprietor of the registered trademark;
(2) to sell goods that he knows bear a counterfeited registered trademark;
(3) to counterfeit, or to make, without authorization, representations of
a registered trademark of another person, or to sell such representations
of a registered trademark as were counterfeited, or made without
authorization;
(4) to cause, in other respects, prejudice to the exclusive right of
another person to use a registered trademark.
Article 39.
Where any party has committed any of such acts to infringe the exclusive
right to use a registered trademark as provided for in Article 38 of this
Law, the infringee may request the administrative authority for industry
and commerce at or above the county level for actions. The administrative
authority for industry and commerce shall have the power to order the
infringer to immediately stop the infringing act and to compensate the
infringee for the damages suffered by the latter. The amount of
compensation shall be the profit that the infringer has earned through the
infringement during the period of the infringement or the damages that the
infringee has suffered through the infringement during the period of the
infringement. Where the infringement of the exclusive right to use a
registered trademark is not serious enough to constitute a crime, the
administrative authority for industry and commerce may impose a fine.
Where any interested party is dissatisfied with the decision of handling
made by the administrative authority for industry and commerce to order
him to stop the infringing act or to impose a fine, he may, within fifteen
days from receipt of the notice, institute legal proceedings with the
people's court. If there have been instituted no legal proceedings or made
no performance of the decision (to impose a fine) at the expiration of the
said period, the administrative authority for industry and commerce shall
request the people's court for compulsory execution thereof.
Where the exclusive right to use a registered trademark has been
infringed, the infringee may institute legal proceedings directly with the
people's court.

Article 40.
Where any party passes off a registered trademark of another person, and
the case is so serious as to constitute a crime, he shall be prosecuted,
according to law, for his criminal liabilities in addition to his
compensation for the damages suffered by the infringee.
Where any party counterfeits, or makes, without authorization,
representations of a registered trademark of another person, or sells such
representations of a registered trademark as were counterfeited, or made
without authorization, and the case is so serious as to constitute a
crime, he shall be prosecuted, according to law, for his criminal
liabilities in addition to his compensation for the damages suffered by
the infringee.
Where any party sells goods that he knows bear a counterfeited registered
trademark, and the case is so serious as to constitute a crime, he shall
be prosecuted, according to law, for his criminal liabilities in addition
to his compensation for the damages suffered by the infringee.
