Paragraph 2 of Article 1 of the Trademark Law stipulates that place names of administrative divisions at or above the county level or foreign place names known to the public shall not be used as trademarks. However, unless the place names have other meaning or are part of collective trademarks or certification trademarks; Registered trademarks for the use of geographical names shall remain valid.

This provision is absolutely forbidden, and the listed marks shall not be used as trademarks.

Therefore, the place names of administrative divisions at or above the county level without other meaning can not only be registered, but also can not be used as trademarks.
