In 2007, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board studied the issue of rejecting the "* * * bond agreement" in retrial cases, and defined the conditions of "* * * bond". That is, whether a trademark can survive depends on the similarity and similarity of the goods designated by the trademarks of both parties, as well as their respective popularity:

(1) Although the goods used by the trademarks of both parties belong to the same similar group in the catalogue of similar goods or services, but the similarity is low, and there are similarities in words, graphics or other components of the trademarks, they should be judged as similar trademarks according to the usual examination standards. However, if two trademarks can be distinguished by consumers as a whole, they may be allowed to be preserved. On the other hand, if the goods used by two trademarks are the same kind of goods, or closely related similar goods, and the words, graphics or other components of the trademarks are similar to each other, it is difficult for consumers to distinguish them, so * * is not allowed.

(2) the visibility of the trademarks of both parties. If the cited trademark is a well-known trademark, and the application for trademark registration and use is easily confused by consumers, the trademark application shall be rejected. If the applied trademark has been actually used and has a certain popularity, although the trademark is similar to the cited trademark, but the consumer can distinguish it from the cited trademark, the application for trademark registration can be approved.

It can be seen that the trademark granted by the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board to * * * is an approximate trademark, but on the whole it should be a trademark with a low degree of similarity and some differences. If it is the same trademark on the same commodity or service, it is naturally impossible to * * *.
