Abstract:
The protection of trademark rights under criminal law has increasingly drawn the attention of mainland China and the
Taiwan region, and the criminal law relating to criminal infringement of trademark rights clearly influences the protection of
trademark rights. However, by comparison, crime legislations on copyright infringement, charges and penalties are different across the
strait. Mainland China should draw lessons from the Taiwan region on the legislation on copyright infringement in order to increase
the protection of trademark rights and improve the management of related criminal violations.
