The premise of trademark infringement is that the trademark is used in the sense of trademark law, and if there is none, it does not constitute infringement. Use in the sense of trademark law refers to the use of trademarks to distinguish goods or services.
Of course, there are many precautions when quoting other people's trademarks, such as:
First, the way the trademark is displayed is very important.
Be sure to prominently display your logo on the product packaging, such as large fonts and eye-catching colors. The text of other people's trademarks should be as unconspicuous as possible, especially the trademark part, do not use special colors, and try to use small fonts. In this way, there will be no misunderstanding among the relevant consumers, and there will be no trademark infringement.
In fact**、There are many examples on Jingdong**,For example,A certain brand data cable,Applicable to HuaweiP50。
In addition, if it is possible to ensure that trademark A and trademark B are not displayed in the same area, try not to place them in the same area. For example, the A trademark is in the upper left corner of the front of the package, and the text with the B trademark is placed in the lower right corner of the front or the product description area on the back of the package to avoid misidentification by relevant consumers.
In addition, pay attention to the way of expression, try not to put the B trademark at the beginning of the word, and do not use words that will make people think that product A is authorized by the B trademark. In fact, there is something inappropriate in the expression of B mechanical special, which gives people the feeling that product A is produced under the authorization of B. In fact, a better option is "suitable for B machinery".
Second, the product quality of a product should meet the national standards.
If the reputation of trademark B is affected by the unqualified quality of A products, it can also be determined as infringement.
3. Product B may have technical patents, or need to be authorized for production.
It is recommended to contact the manufacturer of product B for confirmation. Privately produced products may face patent infringement.
Trademark infringement is a complex legal issue, and you can consult a professional lawyer on the correct way to use your trademark.

If you put the trademark on the outer packaging without the authorization of the owner of the trademark of the machinery brand, then this may be considered an infringement.

Example"A consumables - B machinery special"If B is a mechanical trademark to be borrowed and is not authorized to be used by B's mechanical trademark, this is considered infringement. In this case, you should consider getting authorization from the trademark owner or changing the way you use your trademark.

Trademark infringement generally refers to the use of another person's registered trademark or trademark-like logo to sell goods or services without authorization.
In the example you provided, you are using someone else's trademark B to mark your outer packaging, in which case you need to obtain authorization from B Machinery, otherwise it may be considered infringement.
In this case, you should contact B Machinery to request authorization and obtain written permission, the terms and conditions of which vary from company to company.
In addition, in addition to the loss of trademark rights and goodwill, the use of trademark infringement may also bring legal disputes and economic losses to your business, so you should try to avoid trademark infringement.
