"Mo Yan" Was Registered As A Clothing Trademark.

"Mo Yan" has been registered as clothing, catering, medicine and various trademarks --

"Mo Yan" Yao Ge Zhuang chicken, "Mo Yan" T-shirt, "Mo Yan" tea set, "Mo Yan" four treasures of the house...

Compared with some childish behavior of Mo Yan's old house, some of the other people who snatch "Mo Yan" are obviously more astute. Recently, all Mo Yan related or unrelated products have been competing with the Nobel Prize winner.

The "Mo Yan drunk" brand, which has already been registered, has bid for tens of millions of yuan. For the situation of "Mo Yan" everywhere, Mo Yan can not help but say, "I don't register properly without my consent."

Reporters yesterday visited the China Trademark Office website found that more directly than "Mo Yan drunk", only "Mo Yan" two characters registered trademark reached three, registered persons are respectively in a place.

Clothing companies (commodities)

Shoes and hats); a sun surname in Changchun, Jilin (commodity is pharmaceutical preparation); one is a surnamed personage from Guiyang, Guizhou (the main business is to prepare banquet and cafeteria).

In addition, "Mo Yan incense" and "Mo Yan design" have long been registered.

In fact, in addition to "Mo Yan" two words are doomed, Mo Yan's works "Red Sorghum" and so on are also used in various commercial development.

A series of unrestrained crazy development after Mo Yan won the prize surprised many people: This is another exhibition of "magic reality".

When it comes to the phenomenon of "Mo Yan" everywhere, Mo Yan said, "I want to register my name without wishing to go all over the place.

I hope you will be more sensible. There are many good names in the world, not necessarily tied to Mo Yan. "

The name is ambiguous and it is difficult to safeguard rights.

"Mo Yan" can not but "North Island" basically no way?

In the face of the "Mo Yan Carnival" which has nothing to do with him, can Mo Yan stop others from using his name at random? Mo Yan's two words are protected by the right of name, which is different from the legal profession.

The professor said in an interview with reporters that the right to name is protected by law. However, it is necessary to discuss whether Mo Yan can be protected by the right of name. "Because the word" Mo Yan "in Chinese language is not to speak, it is not specific." two.

He also cited the example of the poet Kitajima. "Kitajima is not only the poet's name but also Kitajima's place name. Therefore, if someone signs up Kitajima's trademark, it's hard to tell if someone else has used someone's name, but Lu Xun and Bing Xin don't have such a problem."

Wang Guohua, a lawyer who has acted in many intellectual property lawsuits such as apple infringement, believes that the use of the name "Mo Yan" has obvious characteristics and that it should be protected accordingly.

For the previously registered "Mo Yan" brand, if the registration time can be revoked within 5 years, "the requirement to revoke the proof should be fully explained. When the name is registered, has it formed a unique character? If Mo Yan was already a very famous writer, he could be protected."

If it is over 5 years, it can not be revoked, but it can also be banned.

Zhao Gang, the Secretary General of the China Trademark Association, thinks that the name and the pseudonym are not the same. The protection of the pseudonym is mainly from the angle of protecting the public interest. "After winning the prize, Mo Yan's trademark that I want to snatch his name should not be passed."

As for the previous registration, he thought that "Mo Yan is drunk" is basically a fake question. Can Mo Yan worry? The trademark registered directly under the name of Mo Yan is also very vague, so it is hard to say clearly.

Mo Yan's founder of copyright, Chen Liming, told reporters that he had applied for Mo Yan's trademark protection. In the future, some people would like to rush to "Mo Yan" again. It should not be possible. "We think his name is not suitable for any commercial brand."

As for previous trademark registration, they are learning about the situation.
