Goldsmith, Minister of Commerce and consumer affairs, pointed out that those companies that failed to comply with the requirement would be removed.

How can we find out whether a foreign trademark is like a heavenly book? Do we have to record it in the customs intellectual property record system? How can we distinguish whether or not it is a grotesque graphic trademark?

Ningbo customs revealed in October 27th that the independent research and development of mobile inspection system "to map map" function, trademark scanning to take photographs and inquiries, automatic comparison of the system, quickly locked similar trademarks, trademark infringement "sweep" know.

Recently, Ningbo customs inspecting Guan Xiao Yao, which is subordinate to the customs inspection of Beilun customs, used this function to find a batch of tortious goods.

The names of these goods are motorcycle handlebars, a total of 100 boxes, 20000, and a figure of animal claw printed on the top of the handle sleeve. The figure is three green lines, and the shape is like the mark caught by the animal claw.

In addition, there are no other characters to search for.

It is very difficult to query with traditional input character characters.

While the Ningbo customs independently developed the mobile individual soldier inspection system, with the function of "map map", it only needs to take a picture of the trademark scanning. The system can automatically match the scanned graphics with the trademark graphics in the customs intellectual property record system, and quickly identify the similar trademarks back to check the customs officers, greatly reducing the difficulty of trademark retrieval, and strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights.

It is understood that since the system was put into use, Ningbo customs has successfully seized a series of relatively uncommon and difficult cases of trademark infringement cases, and added a weapon to protect intellectual property rights.
