Recently, Shandong? Brother Lamian Noodles? Cheng was sought after on the Internet because of his simple image. He sold a bowl of Lamian Noodles for 3 yuan for 15 years. When asked why he didn't raise the price, he replied:? All the people who come to eat noodles are ordinary people. I also came from poor days.

Internet buzzwords and celebrities already contain some information content that is well known to the public, and naturally have strong communication. After being linked with a specific business activity, they can quickly enhance the popularity of businesses and get good publicity results without much cost. But can the behavior of rubbing heat and grabbing trademarks be supported and recognized by law?

as an enterprise, it is understandable to want to gain a higher reputation, but it must follow certain rules and laws. In fact, from the perspective of interests, it is not very cost-effective. If you want to take the risk of being accused by public opinion, the process of trademark registration application review is very long, and it is not impossible to get permission in one year. In the era of information explosion, the hot spots that people pay attention to a year later have long been different. Even if the registration is successful, what is the point?
