Legal question about copywrite infringment part 2?

A trade mark is a symbol which distinguishes the trader’s goods or services from those of others with a view to ensuring that customers are able to identify and distinguish the products or services of different producers/manufacturers. Thus is two given trademarks are so simillar as to cause confusion as to their identity of the producer, the owner of the trademark which comes later or unregister may be held liable for infringment. To me the two trademarks appear so simillar as to cause confusion. Therefore you may be sued and an injunction may be obtained against you. Your may also be liable for any loss that has resulted from the confusion of the two trademarks to their customers/clientele. However, they have no right to stop you from trading. All countries that have established market economy systems legally allow fair competition in the business industry.
