Liu Le Ge
FujianDistinctiveness refusalFrom doubt to trust
- Client
- Owner of an original restaurant brand in Fujian
- Source
- Web enquiry; several earlier filings elsewhere had failed
- Obstacle
- Refused for lack of distinctiveness (absolute ground); the client did not trust us at first
Trust earned through persistent communication; registration granted — the client could barely believe it, praised our professionalism, and finally understood the whole process
Yu Zhi Jia
GuizhouSimilarity refusalReview defence
- Client
- Founder of a seafood brand in Guizhou
- Source
- Web enquiry; refused for similarity elsewhere
- Obstacle
