This is an obvious waste of the company and the country. trademark resources.
For enterprises, the purpose of registering a trademark is not only to help the enterprise distinguish the source of goods, but also to pave the way for the enterprise to build its own exclusive brand.

If you want to develop, you need to invest. Only with dedication can you succeed. If you have something to gain, don’t lose the big for the sake of small things.
