The Chinese Olympic Committee has called for a halt to improper trademark registrations that use the names of Olympic athletes.

The committee said in a statement on Wednesday that all sectors of society should respect the legitimate rights and interests of athletes and comply with Chinese laws, such as the Civil Code, the Trademark Law and the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, when conducting commercial activities.

中国奥委会8月18日发布提示，不得以奥运健儿姓名恶意抢注商标。

中国奥委会在声明中称，社会各界开展相关商业活动，应切实尊重运动员合法权益，遵守 中华人民共和国民法典　 中华人民共和国商标法　 中华人民共和国反不正当竞争法　等相关法律法规规定。

"Without getting permission from the Olympic athletes or guardians of minor players, no one should register their names as trademarks or take other actions that infringe on the rights of their names or other rights," it said.

"If such acts occur, the application for trademark registration should be suspended or withdrawn in a timely manner.

"如未获得运动员本人或未成年运动员监护人授权，不得以奥运健儿姓名恶意抢注商标或有其他侵犯运动员姓名权等合法权益的行为;有上述行为的，应及时撤回和停止实施商标注册申请。

It added that the athletes or guardians of young players have the right to sue violators.

运动员及未成年运动员监护人有依法追究相关侵权行为人法律责任的权利。

According to a Southern Metropolis Daily report on Tuesday, some 20 applications for trademark registration have been made involving the name of 14-year-old Olympic diving champion Quan Hongchan, mainly covering food, clothing, shoes and daily necessities.

据 南方都市报　8月17日报道，仅涉及我国14岁跳水冠军全红婵的商标就有20条正在申请中，主要覆盖食品、服装、鞋类和日用品等领域。
