The best weapon is prevention. Understand your rights before your product enters the Taiwan market. Use every legal means to mitigate risks from the start, including:
1) Register your trademark in Taiwan.
2) Develop and register a Chinese-language version, and do so throughout other jurisdictions of "Greater China" including the P.R.C., Hong Kong, Macao, and Singapore.
3) Register your trademark in neighboring countries both for potential expansion and to block others from registering marks to use on products that consumers may confuse with yours.
4) Conduct a survey to identify potential products infringing your trademark or products bearing a trademark confusingly similar to yours but registered by another party.
5) Establish a corporate system for monitoring the marketplace for infringing products.
6) Engage the services of a trademark agent or law firm to monitor the Trademark Gazette for registrations similar to your mark.
7) Maintain your own registrations within your own company. Although many local distributors or business partners will suggest that they can handle the registrations themselves, past cases of companies giving local control of their trademarks to third parties has repeatedly led to unnecessary, expensive problems later.
8) Centralize the ownership and management of your trademarks so as to help make the handling of key branding and registration issues as consistent as possible across relevant jurisdictions.
