The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has come to a successful conclusion. Winter Olympic athletes from 90 countries around the world are brave and enterprising, interpreting the Olympic spirit of "faster, higher, stronger and more United" and conveying the good wishes of "joining hands in the future". With the variety of competitions, mascot designs such as Ice Shield and Gu Ailing have become the top stream of Internet technology in fact, and have been maliciously registered by large-scale trademarks.
After the Winter Olympics, the Hangzhou Asian Games will come in September 2022. Does official website attach importance to intellectual property rights? In April 2020, Jiang Nanyi, the mascot of the Hangzhou Asian Games, was unveiled. Video promos designed by three mascots for the Hangzhou 2022 19 Asian Games were listed on the hot search list. Cong Cong, Lian Lian and Chen Chen, together, are an intelligent robot named "Jiang Nanyi", which comes from the famous saying of Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi that "Jiang Nanyi is the most unforgettable place".
According to statistics, the Organizing Committee of Hangzhou Asian Games applied to China National Intellectual Property Administration for registration as a special logo according to the Regulations on the Administration of Special Logos, and China National Intellectual Property Administration approved it on June 5438+February 1 day, 2020. So far, Congcong, Lianlian and Chen Chen have laws and regulations to safeguard this unique symbol. The Organizing Committee of the 2022 19 Asian Games has applied for the mascots of the 2020 18+0, "Hangzhou 19 Asian Games Mascot" and "Hangzhou 65438, 2022".
At this stage, the trademark status of 135 is "applying for registration". In addition, within two days after the release of the mascot of the Hangzhou Asian Games, several trademark applicants submitted their trademark applications for Congcong. The international classification covers 25 categories of household textiles, 28 categories of fitness equipment, 35 categories of advertising and marketing, and 38 categories of communication technologies. Among them, two "Congcong" trademarks applied in April 2020 were successfully certified in June last year 165438+ 10.
In addition, in February this year, we applied to register a trademark named "Chen Chencong Lianlian", which was listed as fitness equipment internationally. The trademark "Jiang Nanyi", the combination name of the mascot of the Hangzhou Asian Games, has not escaped the fate of being maliciously registered. On April 23rd last year, three trademarks named "Jiang Nanyi" applied for registration. The international classification involved 18 leather products, luggage and leather goods, 24 kinds of fabric pieces and 39 kinds of transportation and storage. Now, two of the three "Jiang Nanyi" trademarks have been successfully certified.
Previously, in order to solve the problem of malicious cybersquatting of trademarks in the Winter Olympics, China National Intellectual Property Administration issued the Notice on Combating the malicious cybersquatting of trademarks such as "Ice Shield" and "Gu Ailing" according to law. China National Intellectual Property Administration rejected 429 applications for trademark registration, of which 43 were declared invalid ex officio. This shows that China's protection of Olympic symbols is great and covers a wide range. Now, behind the ice shield, the trademark of the mascot of the Hangzhou Asian Games has been maliciously registered. I firmly believe that in the future, the National Bureau of Knowledge will also issue relevant maintenance notices to safeguard the trademark of the Asian Games mascot.
