Can a company name be registered as a trademark?

However, when an applicant uses the name of an enterprise as a trademark, the enterprise name must contain a significant part, and the enterprise name applied for as a trademark should be completely consistent with the name registered on the applicant's business license.

In the application for registration documents, the applicant may not indicate the relinquishment of exclusive rights for non-significant parts in the application.
