Reported on February 16? US media said that the Chinese government this week awarded US President Donald Trump the precious right to use "Trump", adopting a method that is valid for 10 years. of construction services industry trademark.
According to the Associated Press report on February 15, this trademark registration officially took effect on February 14 and appeared in the trademark registration announcement on the website of the China Trademark Office on February 15. U.S. President Trump's victory in a case filed in China to regain his construction services brand may spell the end of more than 225 Trump-related trademarks that previously did not belong to him, including Trump-related toilets, Condoms, pacemakers and even an international hotel.
Reports indicate that as early as 2006, Trump applied to register the “Trump” trademark in the construction services category. But his application was rejected because China's trademark registration adopts a "first come, first served" principle, and someone filed a similar application two weeks earlier than Trump. Trump appealed to the Chinese authorities for 10 years, but was rejected time and time again.
Then things changed. China's trademark administration announced a decision in November last year declaring that person's registered trademark invalid. Trump's application process can move forward, and if no objections are raised, Trump can register as the holder of the trademark this week.
