summary

In recent years, trademark registration events around film and television plays and the names of related characters have occurred from time to time. Film and television play is a combination of cultural value and commercial value. An excellent film and television play can not only win high broadcast volume and high audience rating, but also contain business opportunities for developing derivatives and peripheral services. Seizing the opportunity to make a reasonable trademark layout for the works and the names of relevant roles in time can not only effectively prevent others from seizing the trademark registration after the works become popular, but also lay a trademark right foundation for the development of diversified derivatives and peripheral services in the future.

The names of film and television works and related roles often contain high commercial value. The higher the popularity of film and television works and related roles, the higher the commercial value of related names. The rights and interests of film and television works, especially the producer, producer or distributor, shall plan in advance, timely make a reasonable trademark layout for the name of the works and related roles, and actively safeguard their rights in case of malicious preemption.
