        Ringser's view:In this case, Shunxing Commercial Bank applied for the registration of several trademarks with certain popularity as trademarks in several categories within a short period of time. Although it claimed that the application for the registration of the contested trademark had real intention to use, the evidence it provided was not enough to prove its claim. Therefore, Shunxing Commercial Bank applied for the registration of the contested trademark without real intention to use. Its application for trademark registration obviously violates the intrinsic value of trademark and hinders the normal operation of honest and trustworthy operators in commodity economy. The trademark registration behavior of Shunxing firm obviously exceeded the demand of actual use, disturbed the normal order of trademark registration management, harmed the market order of fair competition, and violated the principle of honesty and credit. Finally, Beijing intellectual property Court rejected Shunxing Commercial on the "blue Magolle" trademark litigation request.
