Article 49 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law stipulates: "If a registered trademark contains a common name, figure or model of a commodity, or directly indicates the quality, main raw materials, function, use, weight, quantity and characteristics of the commodity, or contains a place name, the exclusive right holder of a registered trademark has no right to prohibit others from using it properly."
In fact, you misunderstood this rule. This is not the embodiment of the weak protection principle of geographical name trademarks.
The actual meaning of this provision is that-let me give you an example-someone applied to register the trademark of "Fujian AAAAAA Wonton King", because "Fujian" and "Wonton" belong to the content stipulated in Article 49, so in fact, the applicant for registered trademark does not have the exclusive right to use "Fujian" and "Wonton", but only "AAAAA". No exclusive right means that another person has registered the trademark "BBBBBB" in the same category, so his signboard can write "Fujian BBBBBB Wonton King". This is a correct interpretation of article 49.
What you are doing now is a legal infringement of the trademark of Senecio scandens.
