Officials share how a new law and tech are helping eliminate dubious trademark filings
Trademark authorities will increase their efforts to crack down on malicious registrations, officials said at a publicity event in Beijing on Friday.
The resolution came against the backdrop of the amended Trademark Law that came into effect on Nov 1. Revisions in the law include the refusal to grant trademarks to malicious filings that are not for business use.
Xia Qing, an official from the trademark office of the National Intellectual Property Administration, said that the office is formulating regulations on examining and reviewing applications, in a bid to help contain malicious registrations and the hoarding of trademarks.
