Are the number of trademark registrations in different categories balanced?
There is an imbalance in the registration of trademarks in different categories.
Things to note when applying for trademark registration What are there
1. Only those with Only individuals or groups with the following conditions can file trademark applications in my country:
Applicants for trademark registration must be: enterprises established in accordance with the law. Public institutions. Social groups. Individual business persons. Individual partnerships or foreigners or foreign enterprises from countries that have signed an agreement with China or jointly participated in international treaties with China or handled according to the principle of reciprocity. Meet the above conditions. When you need to obtain the exclusive right to use a trademark, you must submit a trademark registration application to the Trademark Office on a voluntary basis (since February 2007, the my country Trademark Office has restricted applications for trademark registration by natural persons).
2. Submit an application according to the classification of goods and services:
At present, China's trademark law implements the International Classification of Goods, which divides more than 10,000 kinds of goods and services into 45 categories, including 34 categories of goods and 11 categories of services. When applying for trademark registration , the category of goods or services for which the trademark is used should be determined according to the classification of the goods and services classification table. If the same applicant uses the same trademark on different categories of goods, he should apply for registration in different categories according to the classification of goods. This can avoid the scope of application of trademark rights. The unfair expansion is also conducive to the reviewer’s approval and the protection of trademark exclusive rights.
3. Determination of trademark application date:
Establishing the filing date is very important. Since China’s trademark registration adopts the first-to-file principle, once the filing date occurs, it becomes the legal basis for determining trademark rights. The filing date for trademark registration shall be when the Trademark Office receives the application documents. The date shall prevail (the minimum unit of date is 'day').
