More than 60 large companies jointly founded a local trademark protection association on Oct 28 in the capital city Nanjing.

Jiangsu has a group of famous brands, but many have not been registered with customs by their owners due to a lack of awareness. Some have suffered from malicious trademark registration by others, according to organizers.

The group aims to help owners deal with international trademark disputes while sharing information and lowering the cost of protection.
