Tianyan's registration as a tobacco trademark has caused heated discussions. Is this considered a "pandemic"?

The Sky Eye is a national treasure of our country and is located in Sichuan Province. This was built under the leadership of the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is the most sensitive radio telescope in my country. Its comprehensiveness is ten times higher than that of the most famous Arecibo. This country's most important weapon took more than 20 years to build, and it took scientists a lifetime of hard work. Tobacco company registered "Sky Eye"

According to relevant news, when the tobacco company used the element and trademark "Sky Eye", it did not have any communication with the national observatory. The Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also sent a lawyer's letter to negotiate on this matter, but did not receive any response from the tobacco company.

Applying for trademark rights

When applying for trademark registration, you should follow the principle of honesty and trustworthiness and not damage the existing rights of others. The Sky Eye is not only a large scientific device, but also represents an image of the country. Only if it is well protected can it be worthy of the efforts of our scientists and people. Trademark right is an intangible asset. Trademark rights cannot be regarded as an individual's property and cannot be inherited by a person as an individual's inheritance. They can only be transferred. Trademark rights also have a certain validity period. The registered trademark of the tobacco company is "Tianyan" and has been accused of gaining popularity

However, a cigarette brand named "Tianyan" has recently been sold in Guizhou, Yunnan and other places, which has triggered heated discussions among netizens and has been questioned about its use? Suspicion of cheating. The China Tobacco Control Association has publicly issued an appeal, asking the National Tobacco Monopoly Administration, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Academy of Sciences to pay attention, seriously deal with the malicious registration of the "Sky Eye" trademark incident, and declare the relevant registered trademarks invalid.

Cigarette packs have fonts such as "Smoking is harmful to health" on the cover. Tobacco does seriously harm public health. Health is one of the important requirements for all-round development and the basis for economic and social development. Under the new situation of tobacco control, there was an incident of registering Tianyan, an important weapon of the country, as a tobacco trademark. This is a kind of blasphemy against the spirit of "Sky Eye".
