First, how to investigate the criminal responsibility of others for forging signatures?
1. How to investigate the criminal responsibility of others for forging signatures depends on the purpose of forging signatures. If it is used for fraud, criminal responsibility can be investigated according to the crime of contract fraud and fraud.
2. Legal basis: Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).
Article 224 Crime of contract fraud; The crime of organizing and leading pyramid selling activities has one of the following circumstances. For the purpose of illegal possession, in the process of signing and performing a contract, if the amount is relatively large, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention and shall also or only be fined; If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated:

2. Is the sales contract with forged signature valid?
The two parties to the sales contract did not confirm the conclusion of the transaction, nor did they formally sign with each other, but others forged their signatures, which would directly harm the interests of the parties. Then, whether the party whose interests are damaged can defend rights depends on whether the signed sales contract is valid.
First of all, when concluding a contract, the following circumstances will lead to the invalidity of the contract:
1. One party enters into a sales contract by means of fraud or coercion, which harms the national interests;
2. When concluding a contract, both parties to the contract collude maliciously and harm the interests of the state, the collective or a third party;
3. When the buyer and the seller conclude a contract, they cover up illegal purposes in a legal form, such as money laundering;
4. The conclusion of a sales contract will harm the public interest;
5. Violation of mandatory provisions of laws and administrative regulations.
The above knowledge is my answer to the question "How to investigate criminal responsibility for forging other people's signatures". How to investigate the criminal responsibility of others for forging signatures depends on the purpose of forging signatures. If it is used for fraud, criminal responsibility can be investigated according to the crime of contract fraud and fraud.
