BYD's application for the Yuanverse trademark was rejected. What conditions need to be met to apply for a trademark?

BYD's application for the Yuanverse trademark was rejected, and the reason for the rejection was that "Yuanverse" is a new type of future digital technology.

In response to this situation, the relevant national departments rejected the trademark application for "Yuanverse", and the previously approved trademark was declared invalid.

First, submit a distinctive trademark; secondly, the registered trademark must not use signs prohibited by law; and finally, the trademark is not a registered trademark. Similar trademarks; if any of the conditions is violated, the trademark cannot be successfully registered.

However, this behavior desecrated the heroic spirit and violated the core socialist values. Therefore, the State Intellectual Property Office rejected the relevant trademark application.
