Don't chase celebrities, chase pandas! 'Menglan' has become popular in the circle

The giant panda "Menglan", also known as "Momoer, Mengmengzai, Pangwaer, and Mengsan", appears as a giant panda with its own "Sunshine and Happy Big Boy" BGM. Because both parents are the third to be born and the only child of that generation, they now live in the Beijing Zoo in Xizhimen with their mother and brothers and sisters, so they are called "the third prince of Xizhimen".

Meng Lan once became famous for trying to steal her father's waist key when she was a cub. She also understood Sichuan dialect and spoke fluently with her hairband father. She escaped from prison at the Beijing Zoo to greet tourists, but failed to escape and dug a tunnel. Netizens exclaimed that there was definitely no one living inside this "little clever ghost"?

During this year's May Day holiday, the giant panda Menglan at the Beijing Zoo has made multiple hits. On one hand, there are internet celebrities in the panda industry who have become popular, and on the other hand, there is continuous trademark registration.

The Three Crown Princes of Menglan have been registered as trademarks

Recently, the "Menglan Three Princes" trademark has been registered, and the "Menglan Three Princes" trademark has been applied for registration by a printing company in Beijing, with international classifications of 25 and 28, respectively. The goods/services include clothing, toys, etc. The current trademark status is awaiting substantive review.

In addition, "Giant Panda Yaya", "Yaya Panda", "Panda Lele", "Panda Hehua", and Hehua's nickname "Guolai" are all registered as trademarks. The applicants include cultural and creative companies, network technology companies, and multiple natural persons. International classifications include education and entertainment, advertising sales, daily chemical products, etc.

The panda name trademark has been repeatedly registered, which has also caused concern and attention from all sectors of society.

In the eyes of the public, the charmingly naive giant panda is a national treasure and national symbol of China. If someone deliberately registers its trademark, it not only damages the company's image, but also may affect its brand reputation or development.

As a cultural symbol and ecological resource, the protection of giant pandas should indeed receive attention and attention from the whole society, but it should not become a tool for personal profit, nor does it mean that all pandas and their names can be used by others. Rushing to register such trademarks, even if they obtain the trademark and produce the product, consumers may not easily buy it.

Of course, every time a major event of public concern occurs, there are always some merchants who maliciously register trademarks.

What are the types of malicious trademark registration?

4. Any other act of illegally registering another person's trademark.

According to the Trademark Law of our country, applying for registration shall not infringe upon the existing prior rights of others, and in fact, it is prohibited to maliciously use the trademark of others
