In recent years, English trademarks are more popular with people. More and more China brands are entering the international market, so it is very important to register a high-end English trademark to better participate in the international market competition.

However, it is not easy to apply for English trademarks. Many English trademarks have been rejected due to various problems. What are the reasons for the rejection?

1. The meaning of a trademark is negative

The Trademark Law stipulates that signs that are harmful to socialist morality or have other adverse effects shall not be used as trademarks or applied for registration as trademarks. Therefore, when applying for an English trademark, you must not apply for a registered trademark for a sign that is low in style and does not conform to China's public order and good customs and socialist morality.

2. Signs that contain the name of a country or a famous city

are identical with or similar to foreign countries' names, national flags, national emblems and military flags as stipulated in the Trademark Law, or 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.

3. The meaning of English trademarks and Chinese trademarks are similar

A trademark is a sign to distinguish the source of goods or services, so the same or similar trademarks are not allowed in the same or similar categories of goods and services, otherwise the trademark function will be lost. During the examination, the Trademark Office will not only examine the constituent elements of the trademark, but also examine the Chinese meaning of the trademark to see if it is similar to the registered Chinese trademark.

4. The meaning of English trademarks is easy to be mistaken.

The provisions of the Trademark Law are deceptive, and it is easy for the public to misunderstand the characteristics such as the quality of goods or the place of origin. Marks shall not be used as trademarks. Trademark with anticipation, if used in commercial activities, will easily lead to confusion and misunderstanding among relevant consumers and disrupt the normal market order.
