Second, the identification standards are not the same: well-known trademarks must be known by the relevant public in the country, and famous trademarks and well-known trademarks must be known by the relevant public in the province or local (city) at least.
Third, the requirements for whether the trademark is registered are not the same: well-known trademarks may be registered trademarks, or may not be registered trademarks, and famous trademarks and well-known trademarks must be registered trademarks.
At the same time, the three can also be transformed into each other, because the reputation and popularity of each trademark is constantly changing with the passing of time or the change of the use of the trademark user, famous trademarks famous trademarks can gradually evolve into well-known trademarks, and well-known trademarks may also be diluted into famous trademarks or even Common trademark .
