The dispute over the origin of Hami melon, which lasted for eight years, has finally been settled recently. In the future, it will be an infringement to use the trademark of Hami melon anywhere except nearly 5 Hami melon planting areas in Xinjiang, Turpan, Changji, Altay and Shihezi. ?

It is understood that as early as 1995, Hami region in Xinjiang applied for registration of the certificate of origin of cantaloupe, on the grounds that the name of cantaloupe was said to have come from the royal approval of Kangxi. During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, King Hami of Xinjiang presented cantaloupe to Kangxi, which was sweet and delicious. After tasting it, Emperor Kangxi blurted out the name of cantaloupe. Hami people believe that this heritage should be protected. ?

The practice of Hami people in Xinjiang has angered the people in Turpan, a neighboring country. According to textual research, the cantaloupe presented by King Hami in that year was not produced in Hami, but in Shanshan County, Turpan, Xinjiang, which is adjacent to Hami, and the origin cannot be said to be Hami. ?

The dispute over the certificate of origin trademark of Hami and Turpan has lasted for eight years. During these eight years, the market share of Xinjiang Hami melon in the whole country has fallen sharply, because the melon planting area in other provinces and regions of China is expanding at an alarming rate, and local melon farmers in Xinjiang are picking it in advance to seize the market time, which has damaged the reputation of Xinjiang Hami melon, and Xinjiang Hami melon is in danger of losing its brand. ?

in p>22, Hami and Turpan finally realized that years of bitter fighting had caused heavy losses for both sides. So the Hami and Turpan Hami Melon Associations were jointly formed, and the registered Hami Melon Certificate of Origin trademark was formally submitted to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of China.
