With the deepening of China's opening-up, both foreign companies entering the Chinese market and domestic companies expanding overseas often choose to register English trademarks as part of their brand strategy. Whether an English trademark can be registered depends significantly on its meaning, as it relates to various aspects of trademark registrability. For instance, an English trademark with a specific meaning may be rejected on absolute grounds, such as lack of distinctiveness, deceptiveness, or adverse effects. It may also be rejected on relative grounds if its meaning is identical or similar to an existing Chinese trademark. In recent years, China has tightened its examination standards for English trademarks, with many being rejected under Article 10(7) or 10(8) of the Trademark Law due to deceptiveness or adverse effects. In such cases, not only is the trademark denied registration, but its use is also prohibited, requiring companies to pay special attention. This article attempts to analyze the standards for determining the meaning of English trademarks in administrative trademark litigation.
