China Initially Ratified Trump'S 38 Trademark Registration

Foreign media said Donald Trump was facing new doubts about its international business empire. It has been reported that China has approved 38 new trademarks, ranging from Trump brand hotels to security and concierge services.

China Trademark Office initially approved 38 new trademarks applied by Trump group in April last year.

If there is no objection, the trademarks will be officially available in 90 days, according to The Associated Press.

Last month, Chinese authorities decided to register a separate trademark for Trump's brand building services, after Trump had been in China for 10 years.

According to The Associated Press, the new trademark covers Trump's business, such as golf clubs, Real Estate Company and hotels, including a new hotel brand Scion launched by Trump's older sons. The brand is designed to cater for a wider market.

However, The Associated Press reported that many of the trademark applications seem to be associated with unusual businesses for the Trump family, such as insurance, security and concierge services.

The move was criticized by Democrats and ethical experts.

The move also shows that the relationship between the world's two largest economies is becoming more complex under Trump's leadership.

Trump has always listed China as a "champion" in exchange rate manipulation and has led to a destructive trade war.

Ben Cardin, chief Democrat of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said: "the progress is amazing.

In the 10 years before the presidency, Donald Trump had been trying to register profitable and valuable trademarks in China, the world's largest market, but failed, and was rejected every time.

Now, the door seems to be open. "

The US government proposed to seek a comment from Trump group, which tried to describe the latest trademark approval as a normal business result.

"Over the past 10 years, the Trump group has been actively striving to maintain its intellectual property rights in China. Since 2011, its core property related trademarks have been registered in China. This has happened for several years before President Trump announced the election." the spokesman said, "the latest trademark registration is the natural result of these long and unremitting efforts. All other views have completely ignored the facts and lack of understanding of the international trademark law."

Trump has handed over the management of his company to his two largest sons and a long-term partner. He also solemnly declared that he would not seek new international pactions.

He also handed over his company to a trust company, but the structure of the trust company means that it can be revoked at any time.

Ethical experts have always felt that these are not enough. They urged Trump to sell or sell their company to a secret trust. Trump's lawyers claimed that these practices were impractical.

As a businessman,

Seeking to protect their brands and products, a large number of trademarks have been hoarded around the world.

These trademarks are sometimes incompatible with the image of a populist president who believes in the "American priority" strategy.

It is reported that the timing of the approval of these new trademarks may give Trump a bad opinion, because they are too close to his coming to power.

In February, the Chinese government announced that Trump would be granted the right to protect Trump's brand in the field of construction projects.

Then a large number of trademarks were approved.

Matthew Dresden, a lawyer specializing in Chinese intellectual property law in Seattle Harris bricon law firm, said that "one time ratification" of all these trademarks is not in line with the conventional practice.

Scott Palmer, an intellectual property lawyer representing Sheng Zhi law firm in the US business in China, does not think this time node has any important meaning. It emphasizes that the Chinese law clearly stipulates that the trademark office should complete the examination of trademark application within nine months.

Trump registered the relevant trademark in April last year.

"This time itself is not suspicious, strange or should be regarded as abnormal," Palmer said.

"In recent years, the Trademark Office has been trying to comply with this time limit. The fact that they have achieved their goals does not mean that they are protecting them."

Trump, executive vice president and chief counsel of the Trump group, said in a statement: "in the past more than 10 years, the Trump group has been actively maintaining its intellectual property rights in China, and has registered the core real estate related trademarks in China since 2011."

He continued: "the latest registration is the natural result of persistent efforts for a long time. All the contrary remarks are totally disregard of facts and lack of understanding of international trademark law."
