Analysis:
Absolutely impossible:
Intellectual property in a narrow sense includes copyright, patent right and trademark right.
Patent rights include inventions, utility models and designs.
Intellectual property in a broad sense also includes the manufacturer's name right, that is, your company name "Shanghai Haihui Shipping Co., Ltd." is protected by law from the date of its establishment, and enjoys exclusive rights within the legal scope: it is forbidden for others to use the same name as the manufacturer in the approved administrative area. An enterprise named after a city or county with the approval of the corresponding administrative department for industry and commerce may not have the same name within the same city or county; If the name of a province or autonomous region is used instead of the name of a city or county, enterprises in the same industry shall not have the same name within the province or autonomous region; Where the words "China" and "China" are used, enterprises in the same industry shall not have the same name nationwide.
You can also register a trademark.
