According to CCTV reports, a Qingdao underwear enterprise recently applied for the name of the Greek supreme priestess Maria Nafpliotou and the first torchbearer Alexander Nikoladhes and the instant silhouette of the lighting ceremony of the Olympic torch collection and handover ceremony in Beijing.

According to the report, it is not known whether this can be finally approved by the national trademark office. According to the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law of China, even registered persons have the right to sue.

Yesterday, Qiu Baochang, head of the China Association for consumer protection lawyers, said that the regulations on the protection of Olympic symbols promulgated by the State Council in 2002 had strict regulations on the use of relevant Olympic symbols, and the relevant Olympic symbols were protected by law. If they were not permitted by the Olympic Committee, they would be illegal.

Qiu Baochang believes that in addition to applying the name of the highest priestess and the first torchbearer, Qingdao underwear enterprises also incorporate the silhouette of the ignition ceremony into the registered trademark range, making it easy for consumers to associate with the Olympic Games.

However, the protection regulations are not specifically related to this. The practice of the enterprise belongs to playing the Olympic edge ball, and the trademark office should refuse to do so.
