Can I get a trademark registration certificate? The answer is no! Due to the weak awareness of intellectual property rights of some enterprises, they can't use trademarks according to regulations after successful registration, and the font and format of registered trademarks have been changed at will. Little do we know that this habit of casual use may lead to the revocation of trademarks and even infringement. At present, trademark disputes emerge one after another.
