Recently, the Supreme People's Court issued the "Interpretation on Tort Liability (I)" which clarifies the tort liability issues concerning individuals without civil capacity and those with limited civil capacity. The liability for instigation of tort requires clear instigation actions, the commission of a tort by the instigated party, a causal relationship, and liability capacity. Assisting in a tort refers to providing substantial help or convenience, knowing that another party is committing a tort, thereby facilitating the occurrence of the tort.

Perspective | The Judgment of "Likelihood of Confusion" in Trademark Infringement Cases
With the standardized development of the market and the increasing awareness of intellectual property protection, the number of infringement cases involving purely counterfeit registered trademarks has gradually decreased, while behaviors similar to "free-riding" have been on the rise, posing new challenges to trademark protection. According to Article 57, Item 2 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China: "Using a trademark that is similar to a registered trademark on the same type of goods, or using a trademark that is identical or similar to a registered trademark on similar goods without the permission of the trademark registrant, which is likely to cause confusion, constitutes an infringement of the exclusive right to use the registered trademark." This provision applies in cases of trademark similarity or product similarity, and it is necessary to clarify the boundaries of trademark exclusive rights protection, with the likelihood of confusion being an important criterion for trademark infringement.
