China's Trademark Law clearly stipulates that the names of administrative divisions at or above the county level or foreign names known to the public shall not be used as trademarks. But Tsingtao beer can be registered successfully. I think there are several reasons:

1, Tsingtao Brewery was selected 199 1 the first China well-known trademark. After that, it was marketed in various countries and its international influence continued to increase. Therefore, this trademark can be successfully registered even if it has a place name, because it meets the requirements for the identification and protection of well-known trademarks.

2. Tsingtao beer and other trademarks with place names may be products that the local government leads the local people to get rich. It has brought great benefits to the local people and is protected by the trademark law.

So Tsingtao beer can be named after a place.
