I don't think it explains the "cat walks on keyboard" brand names for cheap Chinese goods on Amazon.

The gibberish brand names on Amazon are a formulaic way to streamline trademark registration which Amazon requires for some features on their selling platform.

  • I wonder if a name with CJK characters can be trademarked?

    • Yes, they can. I suspect latin characters are used for practical reasons: compatibility with US expectations... some systems only accept latin characters and certainly your US customers wouldn't be able to search for chinese language characters.
