        Ringser's view:For foreign toponymy known to the public, our trademark law clearly stipulates that it shall not be registered as a trademark, except that the toponymy has other meanings or is part of collective trademark and certification trademark. In this case, according to the evidentiary materials submitted by Beijing Exhibition Hall, it can be proved that its "Moscow Restaurant" was founded1954It was founded by Peng Zhen and tailored by Premier Zhou Enlai. At that time, it was a place for national leaders to receive Chinese and foreign guests. Thus, "Moscow Restaurant" carries a specific historical and cultural memory, and has formed a unique corresponding relationship with the Beijing Exhibition Hall. Therefore, it was identified as having other meanings, and finally the validity of the trademark was maintained. Welcome to contact Huanze intellectual property consulting related business!
