Can the combined trademark of "word+shape" be used alone?
No, according to China's Trademark Law and its detailed rules for implementation: (1) When using the graphics and characters of a trademark alone on the same commodity, if the logo of a registered trademark is added, it violates the first paragraph of Article 48 of the Trademark Law and belongs to the act of "counterfeiting a registered trademark". (2) When using the graphics and characters of the trademark on the same commodity respectively, if the logo of the registered trademark is not marked, and the graphics and characters are not registered as trademarks by others, your company's behavior does not violate the current laws of our country. (3) When the graphics and characters of the trademark are used separately on the same commodity, although the logo of the registered trademark is not marked, but the graphics and characters are registered as trademarks on the same commodity by others, the company's behavior violates the provisions of Article 52 of the Trademark Law and constitutes an act of "using the same or similar trademarks on the same commodity or similar commodities without the permission of the trademark registrant".
