A trademark is the first sign and facade of an operator, and choosing a good trademark is crucial for production and operation. In an industry, some preferred terms have become popular, such as in the baby formula industry, where A2 as a special milk source identifier is eagerly sought after for registration or inclusion in trademarks; in the cookie industry, the crown graphic is widely used. In the cosmetics industry, various "doctor" terms frequently appear in brand names; in the food and fast food industry, the hamburger graphic is also a top consideration. Therefore, the situation of preferred terms in these industries being sought after for registration will inevitably lead to conflicts of trademark rights. It is worth considering whether two trademarks containing the same elements will always be considered as similar trademarks.
