/ˈɒnɪst kənˈkɜːrənt juːz/ – Phrase
Definition: việc sử dụng đồng thời chính đáng.
A more thorough explanation: “Honest concurrent use” refers to a situation in trademark law where two or more parties are using the same or similar trademarks in the same geographic area without knowledge of each other’s use, and neither party has priority over the other. This can lead to a situation where both parties are allowed to continue using the trademark in their respective areas without infringing on each other’s rights.
Example: Two companies, both located in different regions of the country, start using the same brand name for their products. Neither company was aware of the other’s use of the brand name. If both companies can establish that they have been using the brand name honestly and concurrently, they may be able to continue using it without infringing on each other’s rights.
