06 October 2015 chunmun store is registered in Trade Mark with the controller general of patent desigen and Trademarks department.

Normally, you may not register a proper name neither yours, nor anyone else's, as a trademark. An exception may be made if you can demonstrate that the name has become identified in the minds of the public with your specific wares or services.
