I'll apply for a business license first. What if someone else applies for a trademark?
It is legal to apply for a business license before applying for a trademark.

If others apply for the same trademark name and have registered it, it is impossible for them to use the trademark. They need to redesign the trademark and apply for registration.

Trademark application follows the principle of first application. If someone else applies for this kind of trademark first, they can't apply for the same trademark again. If they use it, it constitutes trademark infringement. If you don't apply for a trademark, but only apply for a business license, others can apply for this trademark. However, the protection of business license is regional, and the same company name cannot be registered in the same area, but the other party can register this trademark instead of registering this company.

A trademark approved for registration by the state is a "registered trademark" and is protected by law. Trademarks protect trademark registrants by ensuring that they have the exclusive right to mark goods or services or license others to use them for compensation.
