Trademark monopoly in the tea market of origin
According to the investigation, Laoshan tea belongs to the certification trademark approved and registered by the Trademark Office. According to the provisions of the Trademark Law, a certification trademark that has been approved for registration may not be used by others without the permission of the registrant. So what you are talking about is not monopoly, but normal trademark protection. A certification trademark refers to a trademark controlled by an organization that has the ability to detect and supervise a commodity or service and used by someone other than it to prove the origin, raw materials, manufacturing method, quality, accuracy or other specific qualities of the commodity or service. According to the relevant provisions of certification trademarks, Laoshan Tea Association will formulate unified production or product standards. Those who meet the standards may apply to the association for the use of Laoshan tea certification trademark, and the association shall not refuse.
