Eliminating poverty, improving people's livelihood and gradually realizing common prosperity for all people are the common expectation of all people and the essential requirement of socialism. "Common prosperity", as a political propaganda, is not suitable for use as a trademark. However, in August 2021, a network technology company in Xiamen was entrusted by a company in Guangzhou to apply to the CNIPA for registration of the trademark "Common Prosperity". After examination, the examiner deemed the "Common Prosperity" is not suitable for trademark, and the above application was rejected in October 2021. 

According to Xiamen Siming District Market Supervision Bureau, the network technology company, as a trademark agency, should know that using "Common Prosperity" as a trademark in designated service items is prone to adverse social impact, but it still applied for registration. Such behavior violates the relevant provisions of Trademark Law and Several Provisions on Regulating Trademark Application for Registration. 

Law enforcement officers imposed administrative penalties on the illegal acts of maliciously registering the trademark of "Common Prosperity", ordered the parties to immediately stop the illegal acts of maliciously applying for trademark registration, confiscated the illegal income, gave the warning and imposed a fine of 10,000 yuan. At the same time, according to Article 13 of Several Provisions on Regulating Trademark Application for Registration, law enforcement officers gave the warning to Wu Mou, the person directly in charge of the network technology company who applied for the above-mentioned "Common Prosperity" trademark registration, and imposed a fine of RMB 5,000. 

CNIPA stated that it will maintain the gesture of severely cracking down on malicious trademark registration, and deal with applicants who violate the principle of good faith and hijacking trademarks and their entrusted trademark agencies according to laws and regulations.
