Why was the trademark of Ali Damo Academy rejected?

The trademark of Ali Dharma Academy was rejected first of all because of the problem of their name, which sounded like a religious belief. The second is that there is no way for their trademark to pass the audit.

On October 11, 2017, at the 2017 Hangzhou Gathering Conference, Alibaba Group officially announced the establishment of the "World of Science and Technology Innovation" Dharma Conference. Jack Ma announced that in the next three years, Alibaba will invest 100 billion yuan in technology research and development to find talents, invest in technology, and explore the future around the world, including global research institutes, university joint laboratories and global cutting-edge innovation research programs.

Why was the application for "Dharma Garden" rejected? Jiang Cangsang told reporters that China's "Trademark Law" clearly stipulates that religious words are generally not registered as trademarks. Ali's registered trademark is "Dharma Temple", and "Dharma", as a patriarchal figure in the history of Buddhism, has an inseparable relationship with Buddhism.

As a trademark designated for services such as insurance information, it is easy to hurt the feelings of religious persons and cause adverse social impacts, which has constituted the circumstances stipulated in Article 10.1.8 of the Trademark Law.

After the trial, the State Intellectual Property Office determined that the applied trademark was "Dharma Hall", in which "Dharma" is a Buddhist term, which is used for the designated use of the trademark in services such as insurance information, which is easy to hurt the feelings of religious people and cause adverse social impact, and has constituted the situation referred to in Article 10, Paragraph 1, Item (8) of the Trademark Law. The evidence submitted by Alibaba was insufficient to prove that the trademark applied for was registrable.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 10, Paragraph 1 (8), Article 30 and Article 34 of the Trademark Law, the State Intellectual Property Office rejects the application for trademark registration of the reexamination service agency. "An application to register the name of a public figure in the political, economic, cultural, religious, ethnic and other fields as a trademark falls within the scope of 'other adverse effects' referred to in the preceding paragraph," Jiang Cangsang said, adding that because of this, Buddhism falls under the category of religion, so even if the application is filed, it will be rejected.

It may be that the trademark of Ali Damo Academy violated some regulations, so it was rejected.

Alibaba's registered trademark is "Dharma Academy", and "Bodhidharma", as a patriarchal figure in the history of Buddhism, has an inseparable relationship with Buddhism, and is used as a trademark designated for use in services such as insurance information, which is easy to hurt the feelings of religious people and thus has a negative social impact, which has constituted the situation referred to in Article 10.1.8 of the Trademark Law. According to Article 10 of the Trademark Law, there are eight signs that cannot be used as trademarks, including the name of a country, the national anthem, the name of a place, etc., and the last one is "harmful to socialist morality or has other adverse effects".

Because the trademark of Ali Damo Academy does not comply with the relevant trademark regulations.

The Dharma Academy is a product of Buddhism. The state will not allow something with a religious overtone to become a trademark.

The Dharma Academy sounds like it has something to do with Buddhism. When it comes to religion, we must be strict and careful.

It may be that the trademark violates something in a certain design and cannot be registered.

It may be because this trademark design conflicts with other trademark designs.

I think that's what Buddhism is about, and the beliefs are different in every country.

It is possible that there are some problems with the trademark they designed and it will not be approved.

Maybe their trademarks don't meet the requirements of the relevant regulations.

The Damo Academy is a laboratory set up by Jack Ma in 2017 to explore the future of human science and technology, focusing on technological innovation and hoping to serve the world2 billion people, realizing people's visions.

It is said that the name of the Damo Academy was given by Jack Ma himself.

Since its establishment, Alibaba has applied for a total of 27 trademarks, most of which have been rejected by the Trademark Office.

Taking the trademark "Damo Academy" No. 33145533 as an example, Ali submitted a trademark application on August 27, 2018, which is used in finance, insurance and other fields. At the beginning of this year, it was rejected by the Trademark Office. Subsequently, Ali submitted a rejection review, which was still dismissed.

"Damoin" is a Buddhist term that is used as a trademark to designate and use services such as insurance information. It is easy to hurt the feelings of religious people, which can have a negative social impact.

China's Trademark Law clearly stipulates that religious words are generally not registered as trademarks. Even the trademark application for the "Dharma Academy" of Songshan Shaolin Temple was rejected.

So if you want to register a trademark, it's best to avoid religious beliefs.

So far, I wonder if Jack Ma's father will regret taking the "Damo Academy".

If you don't register the trademark "Damo Academy", what will be the impact on Ali?

There must be an impact. The Dharma Research Institute is a research institute built by Alibaba with a cost of 100 billion yuan. At present, it has won the first prize of more than 40 projects such as natural language processing, intelligent speech, and visual computing.

As the performance continues to improve, the brand will continue to impact the world. If there is no trademark, Ali may regret it very much

I won't regret this, because Jack Ma is a fan of this kind of trademark.

This Jack Ma will not regret taking this name, because he has already decided.

I think that since the name has already been given, there is nothing to regret or regret.

He even thought of this name, and he would definitely not regret taking this name.

Jack Ma may change the name, and he will definitely not regret it.

I shouldn't regret it, everyone knows the name.

When he first founded Alibaba, although the startup capital was small, Jack Ma still positioned the future company as a global company, so the name should also be loud and international.

Probably not, if it is dismissed, they can change the name to a new one.

It is used for trademark designation, and when used in services such as insurance information, it is easy to hurt the feelings of religious personnel, and it will also have a negative social impact.

If you have money, you will always approve it!

Will the United Nations** support my application for South Korea**?

There should be no regrets, Mr. Ma is the creator of myths.

This one will definitely not be regretted, because he loves the name very much.
