In this case, the services involved in the trademark application for cancellation, "capital investment; financial services," are special service industries in China that are strictly regulated by national laws and regulations. Engaging in these services requires obtaining relevant professional qualifications and approval from the relevant authorities before establishing a specialized institution to provide such services.
During the specified period, the client actively prepared for the aforementioned services. The evidence we provided includes: during this period, the licensee "Guiyang Zhen Kung Fu Leading Financial Co., Ltd." obtained government approval for professional qualifications, and reports from third-party websites such as Xinhua Net, Phoenix News, Jin Yang Net, and Jiangsu News Net during this period on Zhen Kung Fu's chairman announcing at the company's 25th-anniversary celebration that "Zhen Kung Fu is building an entrepreneurial platform within the industry, preparing a Chinese fast-food industry fund, making angel investments in catering startups from the direction of Internet finance, providing financial support to entrepreneurs through Internet finance, and thus promoting the cluster development of the Chinese fast-food industry."
Ultimately, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board held that: the aforementioned government approval documents and news media reports on the preparatory work of the trademark under review in the field of capital investment and financial services in the market circulation can prove that the trademark under review was genuinely and effectively used in capital investment and financial services during the specified period. Therefore, it was decided to maintain the registration of the trademark in question for "capital investment, financial services."
