Below is a detailed description of China's Trademark Registration Categories and how to choose the class of registered trademarks.
I. How to choose the class of registered trademark
When an enterprise or an individual applies for the registration of a trademark, it should choose the class of goods or services it is using or is going to use in the future for registration. How to choose the class of registered trademarks? We have summarized a few tips for choosing the class of registered trademarks:
1, choose a wider range of commodity item names
For example, 26 classes in the 2601 group inside the "hairpin", in this group there are other about hairpin commodity item names: hairpin (hairpin), Curly hair clips, strip hair clips (hair clips), these are collectively referred to as hair clips, so the first thing we choose is hair clips, will be a larger range of commodity items to choose, and then according to the main business of goods on the range of smaller items to choose, so as to realize the minimum cost to achieve the maximum effect of protection.
2, choose the function of the product with the management of similar goods items, or choose the main components of the product with the management of the project
If the "similar goods and services to distinguish between the table" does not have the exact name of the smaller goods items, we can choose the function of the product with the management of similar goods items, or choose the main components of the product with the management of the project, so as to achieve the protection of the product trademark rights. achieve the protection of the trademark right of the product.
3, choose to cross-search or other categories of similar goods or services
Generally speaking, a similar group of trademarks or services constitute similar, but some goods or services have a cross-category of similar circumstances, such as the selection of the goods or services, the scope of protection and its cross-search or similar goods or services. This selection method can maximize the scope of protection of the trademark without increasing the cost of registration, and can have the effect of cross-class protection.
4, in the relevant categories in advance of registration
In order to expand the scope of trademark registration protection, in addition to registering the enterprise's own main products, but also in the relevant categories in advance of registration. In order to save costs, you can choose a small item of goods in each group, for example, 26 categories. 26 categories of total **** is divided into 10 small groups, in each group to choose a product registration, it is exactly 10 items of goods, such a choice, that is, the entire 26 categories are protected, the third party if you want to register the same or similar trademarks in the 26th class, it is not registered.
5, in the main products with the enterprise in a similar category or the same industry in different categories of registered trademarks
(1) in the main products with the enterprise in a similar category of trademark applications.
For example, Class 32 and Class 33, both for alcohol. 32 is for non-alcoholic beverages and 33 is for alcoholic beverages. If you simply register for class 33, once the product enters the market, it is likely that there will be a trademark in class 32 that is identical to the registered trademark in class 33.
(2) Registering a trademark in a different class in the same industry.
For example, the home appliance industry, according to the different types of home appliances, in the Distinguished Table of Similar Goods and Services, it is divided into different categories. For example, electric water heaters, freezers, etc. are in Class 11, washing machines are in Class 7, CD players, TV cameras are in Class 9. Registering trademarks in different categories of the same industry is a means of comprehensive trademark protection.
