why islam?

research shows islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. we need to become more aware of ramadan as well as the other practices and tenets of this religion. here are some things you may don’t know about islam.

  

why islam?

1

positive outlook on life

islam gives a person a clear perspective on the events that happen in their life, both good and bad, as they are, in fact, tests from god. it encourages a person to understand events in the context of the overall purpose of life, which is to acknowledge god and obey him.

why islam?

 

he created humans with intellect and free will to test them as to who will choose to follow his guidance. this life is an ultimate testing ground and although we cannot control everything that happens to us, we can control how we react.

islam encourages a person to focus on what is in their control, to be grateful to god for blessings, and to be patient during hardships. patience or gratitude-this is the formula for a happy life.

2

pure and clear concept of god

in fact, islam is not named after its founder or the community of its birth. islam is an attributive title that signifies obedience to god, the creator of the universe.

why islam?

 

one of its main beauties is that it acknowledges the complete perfection, greatness, and uniqueness of god with absolutely no compromises. this is reflected in islam’s pure teachings of the attributes of god.

3

emphasizes both evidence and faith

islam is a religion in which faith is based on clear proof. it encourages people to use their god-given intelligence to think and ponder over their life and the universe.

why islam?

 

although this life is a test, god has provided sufficient signs and guidance to people who are open-minded and sincere to be able to acknowledge the truth.

4

forgiveness of sins

islam encourages a balance between hope in god’s mercy and fear of his punishment-both of which are required to lead a positive and humble life.

why islam?

 

we are born sinless but have the free will to commit sins. god created us and knows we are imperfect and commit sins, but the key is how we react to committing those mistakes.

5

practical and balanced way of life

islam provides the right balance between faith and action, as both are required for a stable life. it provides guidance for all situations and circumstances. it is a practical religion with practical acts of worship that are designed to fulfill the spiritual, physical, psychological and social needs of people. 

 

why islam?

why islam?

in short, we should respect personal belief and religion in our daily life.

no matter who we are, where we go, we should pursue these small pieces of happiness in life; about truth, we should never give up the courage to find evidence; about sins, we should be brave to commit mistakes. in doing so, one will improve a lot and become a better person.

notice! you’ll be banned from taking plane/train if…

for the majority of business owners in china, you have ushered in an important thing recently. do you remember to submit the crucial corporate annual reports? it not only affects your company’s operation but your personal credit in china!

what’s corporate annual report?

each year, every company in china must submit its annual report to the industrial and commercial administration within a specific time period through an online system. 

 

as soon as the deadline of annual report arrives, the reporting system will automatically shut down, and all enterprises that fail to report on time will be included in the list of abnormal operations.

notice! you'll be banned from taking plane/train if...

and all the annual reports in this system are available to the public so that any company or individual can check any one of them online.

why should you submit 

the annual report?

 

it’s stipulated that companies should submit their annual reports from january 1st to june 30th each year. companies that fail to submit their annual reports within this period will be added to the “poorly performing company list”

 

notice! you'll be banned from taking plane/train if...

 

and if the company has been on that list for 3 years, it will be moved to the “illegal company list”, which, will results in…

  • a lifetime record of “illegal company list” that cannot be eliminated.

  • no way to deal with business alternation or cancellation.

    notice! you'll be banned from taking plane/train if...

  • poor credit record that exerts negative influences on cooperation with other enterprises.

  • long-term limits on visa applying, departure and entry, air tickets buying or high-speed rail tickets buying, or luxury hotels booking (usually 3-star or above).

 

a bad credit, so many limits!!!

 

get a fine

 

according to the rules, corporation will incur a penalty or other forms of punishment if it  ↓↓↓

  • do not publicize annual report or related information of corporation based on rules within regulated period. the penalty is 5,000-30,000 rmb.

  • fails to submit annual report to the government. those who refuse to make corrections or disobeying the government will be incur a penalty. the penalty is 100-1,000 rmb.

  • withholds the truth, practices frauds when publicizes information and annual report. the penalty is 10,000-30,000 rmb (for illegal enterprise), or 500-5,000 rmb (for individual business).

notice! you'll be banned from taking plane/train if...

the corporate annual report is seen as an indicator of a company’s attitude towards credit, so if you fail to submit it on time, your company will be considered to have lost its credibility and will not be trusted elsewhere, which must be torturing for you.

why do i have to submit 

the annual report asap?

there are too many companies out there.

 

according to statistics from the state administration for industry & commerce, the number of registered market entities around china has reached 110 million by the end of  2018, including 34.742 million enterprises. in 2018, there were 21.4958 million new market players and 6.7 million new enterprises, an average of 18,300 new enterprises per day.

notice! you'll be banned from taking plane/train if...

this means that this year there will be more than 100 million market entities involved in the annual report submission, which can be overwhelming for the online systems. 

 

the annual report requires professional quality work.

the annual report includes your company’s performance, and financial data etc. therefore, it’s better to assign this work to professionals in this field.  

tips from hacos

 

besides annual reports, there are many other tasks every year, such as: 

  • corporate income tax reports, 

  • annual foreign exchange inspection, 

  • annual joint inspection. 

if your company has the right to engage in import and export trade, you will also need to do the annual customs inspection; and if your company’s business scope includes advertising, then you’ll also need to do the annual advertisement inspection. 

 

notice! you'll be banned from taking plane/train if...

all these annual inspections must be finished within the specified time period. among them,

  • final settlement of the tax bureau is before may 30

  • industrial and commercial annual audit and joint annual inspection is before june 30.

otherwise, your company’s operation and credit will be affected in 2019.

notice! you'll be banned from taking plane/train if...

as the 2018 annual report submission has begun, hacos would like to remind you —- please remember to do the annual report and all kinds of annual inspections, which are vital for your company’s credit!

瀚客商标分享:水立方shuilifang商标争议案

基本案情

申请人:北京国家游泳中心有限责任公司

被申请人:周晓扬

争议商标:第3672081号“水立方shuilifang”商标

争议商标

一、当事人主张

申请人主要理由:申请人由北京市国有资产经营有限责任公司成立,是“水立方”的唯一经营、管理机构。“水立方”是申请人独创的臆造词,已经与2008年北京奥运会标志性奥运场馆国家游泳中心形成特定的、唯一的联系,成为奥运场馆名称和未注册商标,由被申请人注册和使用,必然会欺骗、误导消费者,产生不良影响,违反了《商标法》第十条第一款第(八)项规定。2003年初国家游泳中心设计方案包括“水立方”,在北京公开展示,2003年7月28日“水立方”被正式确定为国家游泳中心实施方案,对于这一历史性事件,中央、各地方电视台、网站等众多媒体进行了宣传报道,被申请人在申请争议商标前,不可能不知晓“水立方”这一名称,因此是典型的恶意抢注行为。综上,争议商标应予以撤销。

被申请人未在规定期限内答辩。

二、商评委审理与裁定

商评委经审理查明:争议商标由被申请人于2003年8月13日提出注册申请,并于 2005年11月7日经商标局核准注册于第3类肥皂、洗发液等商品上。

商评委经审理认为,本案争议焦点可归结为争议商标是否构成《商标法》第十条第一款第(八)项所指的具有不良影响之情形。“水立方”是2008年北京奥运会标志性建筑物——国家游泳中心的名称,这一事实已为中国消费者广为知晓。被申请人将“水立方”注册为商标,易使消费者将其标示商品与奥运场馆国家游泳中心相联系,认为该商品为奥运会指定商品或与奥运会有某种关联,从而发生对产源的误认,进而产生不良影响。因此,争议商标已构成《商标法》第十条第一款第(八)项所指的具有不良影响之情形。依据《商标法》第十条第一款第(八)项、第四十一条第一款、第四十三条的规定,撤销    争议商标的注册。

典型意义

本案的焦点问题是争议商标是否构成《商标法》第十条第一款第(八)项所指的具有不良影响之情形。

一、《商标法》第十条第一款第(八)项“其他不良影响”的界定

从立法结构看,《商标法》第十条第一款作为禁用条款,该条第一款第一至七项,列举了有损我国社会公共利益和公共秩序,不得作为商标使用的情形,但鉴于现实生活的复杂性,法律不可能将所有违背社会公序良俗的情形逐一列举,因此,该条第一款第(八)项中的“其他不良影响”更像是一个“兜底”条款。即如果出现了第十条第一款前七项及第八项“社会主义道德风尚”之情形,当然适用该条款,如果出现列举情形之外但又确实有违主流的道德观念、有损国家和社会的公共利益,就可以使用“其他不良影响”条款来制止商标的注册,以预防产生消极、负面的社会影响。

在司法实践中,判断是否构成“其他不良影响”所要考虑的因素是多样的,简言之,“其他不良影响”是指商标的文字、图形或其他构成要素对我国政治、经济、文化、宗教、民族等社会公共利益和公共秩序产生消极的、负面的影响。判定是否具有不良影响,应考虑社会背景、政治背景、历史背景、文化传统、民族风俗、宗教政策等因素,并应考虑商标的构成及其指定使用商品或服务。

商评委2005年12月颁布的《商标审理标准》中列举了“具有其他不良影响”之情形:

(一)具有政治上不良影响的

(二)有害于种族尊严或感情的;

(三)有害于宗教信仰、宗教感情或民间信仰的:

(四)与我国各党派、政府机构、社会团本等单位或组织的名称、标志相同或近似的;

(五)与我国党政机关的职务或军队的行政职务和职衔的名称相同的;

(六)与各国法定货币的图案、名称或标记相同或近似的;

(七)容易误导公众的:

(八)商标由企业名称构成或包含企业名称,该名称与申请人名义存在实质性差异,容易使公众发生商品或服务来源误认的。

本案中,被申请人将北京奥运会标志性场馆名称“水立方”作为商标注册,易使消费者认为其商品与奥运会有某种联系,从而误导公众。此种情形虽不属《商标法》第十条第一款第(一)至(七)项列举之情形,但争议商标的注册确易使相关公众产生误认,从而误导消费,影响消费者利益和诚实守信、公平竞争的市场秩序,因此,本案属于《商标法》第十条第一款第(八)项中具有不良影响之情形。

二、适用“不良影响”条款的条件

1、“不良影响”条款的调整范围。

“不良影响”作为〈商标法〉第10条第1款的组成部分,属于绝对理由条款,“其他不良影响”的范围应当限定在损害社会公共利益和公共道德的范围之内,如仅涉及损害特定民事权益的内容,由于商标法已另行规定了救济方式和相应程序,不宜认定其属于其他不良影响的情形。“不良影响”条款不同于其他条款维护权利人商标权等在先权利的立法宗旨,侧重维护国家、社会公众的公共利益,因此,依据该条款提出商标撤销申请商标的主体法律未予限定。本案中提出撤销申请的主体是北京国家游泳中心有限责任公司,其虽然为“水立方”的经营、管理机构,但其提出的争议商标易使消费者将其与奥运会相联系,易误导公众之主张,属公共利益之范畴,并非主张其特定的民事权益,故本案属于“不良影响”条款调整范围。此外,如果一个商标对商品或服务具有描述性,整体缺乏显著性,同时也易导致消费者对商品相关特点产生误认,此种情形下应适用《商标法》第十一条显著性条款,而不应适用不良影响条款。

2、只需存在产生“不良影响”的可能性。

商标法“其他不良影响”的规定旨在维护社会公共利益和公共秩序,防止商标的注册对正常的社会秩序、道德观念产生负面的影响。而且“不良影响”一般涉及的是不特定的社会公众的利益和公共秩序,商标审查机关只需论证争议商标的构成要素会对国家、社会、公众产生不良影响的因果关系即可,而无需证明有不良影响的实际后果。

3、构成“不良影响”的判定。

由于法律上缺乏具体的判断依据,而现代社会价值观日益多元化,判断是否构成“不良影响”有一定难度。个人认为应从几个方面考量:一是以维护社会公共秩序和国家一般利益为大前提;二是主要考虑商标的常见含义。通常应考虑一般社会公众或相关消费者的认知程度,在多个含义中考虑其主要含义,以一般消费者对该商标的认知为主要考虑因素,而无需考虑注册人的设计理念和主观心态,也无需考虑商标注册人放弃该商标部分文字专用权;三是要充分考虑我国国情、历史背景、社会观念、市场效果等方面进行综合判断,以一般社会公众的认知水平、道德价值观念为标准,全面考察商标的使用或注册是否会对社会造成不良影响。

三、综合评述

从该案的审理可以看出,“水立方”虽然不属于《商标法》第十条第一款第(一)至(七)项列举的不得作为商标使用的标志,但它属于奥运会这一国际性体育活动的标志性建筑物之一,与奥运会有着特定联系。类似的标志主要有全国性或国际性的文化、体育等大型活动或其它公益活动的会徵、吉祥物、宣传语或其它标志物,如“世博会”会标等,此类标志具有广泛的影响力,亦有一定的商业价值,将此类标志注册为商标,客观上破坏了公平竞争的市场秩序,应予以制止。鉴于《商标法》对此种行为并无明确规定,但又确属不应注册为商标之情形。在此情形下,可适用《商标法》第十条第一款第(一)项“其他不良影响”条款。由此我们亦可认识到设立该条款作为“兜底”条款的必要性。
