When the administration for industry and commerce performs the duties set out above, the parties concerned shall assist and cooperate and shall not refuse or obstruct the administration for industry and commerce.

在查處商標侵權案件過程中，對商標權屬存在爭議或者權利人同時向人民法院提起商標侵權訴訟的，工商行政管理部門可以中止案件的查處。中止原因消除後，應當恢複或者終結案件查處程序。

In the course of investigation of a trademark infringement case, where there is dispute over the ownership of trademark rights or the rights holder has simultaneously filed a trademark infringement lawsuit with a People's Court, the administration for industry and commerce may suspend investigation of the case. After the causes for the suspension are eliminated, the investigation procedures shall be resumed or terminated.

第六十三條   侵犯商標專用權的賠償數額，按照權利人因被侵權所受到的實際損失確定；實際損失難以確定的，可以按照侵權人因侵權所獲得的利益確定；權利人的損失或者侵權人獲得的利益難以確定的，參照該商標許可使用費的倍數合理確定。對惡意侵犯商標專用權，情節嚴重的，可以在按照上述方法確定數額的一倍以上三倍以下確定賠償數額。賠償數額應當包括權利人為制止侵權行為所支付的合理開支。

Article 63 The compensation amount for infringement of exclusive rights to use trademarks shall be determined in accordance with the actual losses suffered by the rights holder due to the infringement; where it is difficult to determine the actual losses, the compensation amount may be determined in accordance with the gains derived by the infringor from the infringement; where it is difficult to determine the losses of the rights holder or the gains derived by the infringor, the compensation amount shall be determined reasonably with reference to the multiples of the licensing fee of the said trademark. In the case of malicious infringement of exclusive rights to use trademarks and serious cases, the compensation amount shall be determined in accordance with the aforesaid method based on one to three times of the determined amount. The compensation amount shall include the reasonable expenses incurred by the rights holder to stop the infringement act.

人民法院為確定賠償數額，在權利人已經盡力舉證，而與侵權行為相關的賬簿、資料主要由侵權人掌握的情況下，可以責令侵權人提供與侵權行為相關的賬簿、資料；侵權人不提供或者提供虛假的賬簿、資料的，人民法院可以參考權利人的主張和提供的證據判定賠償數額。

In the determination of compensation amount by the People's Court, where the rights holder has provided proof to its best effort, and the accounts books and materials relating to the infringement are held by the infringer, the People's Court may order the infringer to provide accounts books and materials relating to the infringement; where the infringer does not provide accounts books and materials or where the accounts books and materials provided are false, the People's Court may determine the compensation amount with reference to the assertion of the rights holder and the evidence provided.

權利人因被侵權所受到的實際損失、侵權人因侵權所獲得的利益、注冊商標許可使用費難以確定的，由人民法院根據侵權行為的情節判決給予三百萬元以下的賠償。

Where it is difficult to determine the actual losses suffered by the rights holder due to the infringement or the gains derived by the infringor from the infringement or the licensing fee of the registered trademark, the People's Court shall rule on a compensation amount of not more than RMB3 million based on the extent of the infringement.

第六十四條   注冊商標專用權人請求賠償，被控侵權人以注冊商標專用權人未使用注冊商標提出抗辯的，人民法院可以要求注冊商標專用權人提供此前三年內實際使用該注冊商標的證據。注冊商標專用權人不能證明此前三年內實際使用過該注冊商標，也不能證明因侵權行為受到其他損失的，被控侵權人不承擔賠償責任。

Article 64 Where a holder of exclusive rights to use registered trademarks seeks compensation, the alleged infringor pleaded that the holder of exclusive rights to use registered trademarks has not used the registered trademark, the People's Court may require the holder of exclusive rights to use registered trademarks to provide evidence of actual use of the said registered trademark during the preceding three-year period. Where the holder of exclusive rights to use registered trademark cannot prove that it has actually used the said registered trademark during the preceding three-year period, and cannot prove that it has suffered other losses due to the infringement, the alleged infringor shall not bear compensation liability.

銷售不知道是侵犯注冊商標專用權的商品，能證明該商品是自己合法取得並說明提供者的，不承擔賠償責任。

Where a party unknowingly sells goods that infringe upon another party's exclusive right to use a registered trademark but can prove that it has obtained the goods lawfully and is able to identify the supplier, it shall not be held liable for damages.

第六十五條   商標注冊人或者利害關系人有證據證明他人正在實施或者即將實施侵犯其注冊商標專用權的行為，如不及時制止將會使其合法權益受到難以彌補的損害的，可以依法在起訴前向人民法院申請采取責令停止有關行為和財產保全的措施。

Article 65 Where a trademark registrant or interested person has evidence to prove that another person is committing or is going to commit an act infringing upon its exclusive right to use its registered trademark, and that its lawful rights and interests will suffer the damage which is difficult to make up if it does not stop it in time, it may, before bringing a lawsuit, apply to the people's court for ordering the suspension of the relevant act and the preservation of property.

第六十六條   為制止侵權行為，在證據可能滅失或者以後難以取得的情況下，商標注冊人或者利害關系人可以依法在起訴前向人民法院申請保全證據。

Article 66 For the purpose of curbing an infringement, where the evidence may be lost or destroyed or difficult to obtain in the future, a trademark registrant or a stakeholder may, prior to the lawsuit, apply to the People's Court for preservation of evidence pursuant to the law.

第六十七條   未經商標注冊人許可，在同一種商品上使用與其注冊商標相同的商標，構成犯罪的，除賠償被侵權人的損失外，依法追究刑事責任。
