Does labeling Xinjiang long-staple cotton on a trademark violate trademark law?

This behavior violates trademark law.

According to Article 16 of the Trademark Law, “If a trademark contains a geographical indication of a product, but the product does not originate from the area indicated by the mark, and it misleads the public, it shall not be registered and its use shall be prohibited. "Trademarks named "Xinjiang Long Staple Cotton" cannot pass the registration review of the Trademark Office.

If a trademark cannot be registered, it means that the trademark does not comply with the regulations and needs to be modified before the application can be submitted again. Common reasons may be that there are similar trademarks or the submitted application materials are incomplete.
