Handling of similar trademarks being rejected

How to deal with a rejected similar trademark: The party concerned should actively collect relevant evidence to prove that the legal standard of similarity is not reached, and then apply for review. If it is confirmed that the trademark is similar, it can be proved that the trademark was used first, and then the corresponding rights to the trademark can be proved. If none of the above methods can handle it, you cannot appeal.
