As an important intellectual property right, trademark is not only the intangible assets of enterprises, but also the resources and wealth of society. Any sign that can distinguish the goods of natural persons, legal persons or other organizations from those of others, including words, graphics, letters, numbers, three-dimensional signs, color combinations and sounds, as well as the combination of the above elements, can be applied for registration as a trademark.

For enterprises, the application for trademark registration must be made in advance. With the prosperity of the Internet, trademarks can be used as an efficient medium to achieve the effect of rapid publicity among social media. Facing the infringement of others, an effective trademark can not only maintain the corporate image, but also create economic value.
