Bitauto News? Recently, a batch of trademarks such as "Tank" applied by Great Wall Motors were rejected and the trademarks were found to be invalid, which has aroused widespread concern in the society. An insider from Great Wall Motors said in an interview with relevant media: "The tank series trademark applied for by Great Wall Motors is in the process of being applied for, and the relevant work is progressing in an orderly manner."
This means that whether it is the Tank 300 or Tank 300 on sale, The upcoming Tank 500 is currently not protected by trademark law and is in danger of being misappropriated. For example, other car brands have launched new cars called Tank 3000. Great Wall Motors is not protected by trademark law and cannot defend its rights against this behavior. .
As for the reason why some trademarks of the tank and car series were not successfully registered, some industry experts pointed out: "It should be because the trademark lacks distinctiveness, that is, the word tank cannot be effectively distinguished in the industry, just like aircraft, cannons and tractors." Such words are not suitable for trademarks."
