Trademark classification refers to trademarks composed only of characters, including China Chinese characters and minority languages, foreign languages and Arabic numerals, or trademarks composed of various languages. It is also the basic unit for applying for trademark registration and paying fees. Trademark registration is a legal procedure to obtain the exclusive right to use a trademark. If a natural person, legal person or other organization needs to obtain the exclusive right to use a trademark in its production and business activities, it shall apply for trademark registration. A registered trademark is a registered trademark. Trademark registrants enjoy the exclusive right to use trademarks and are protected by law.
The exclusive right to use a trademark is limited to the registered trademark and the goods or services approved for use. Registered trademarks include commodity trademarks, service trademarks, collective trademarks and certification trademarks. Goods that are required by laws and administrative regulations to use registered trademarks must apply for trademark registration, and those that have not been approved for registration may not be sold in the market. Trademark registration is the premise and condition for trademark users to obtain the exclusive right to use trademarks. Only registered trademarks are protected by law. The principle of trademark registration is the basic standard to determine the exclusive right to use a trademark. The choice of different registration principles is the result of weighing the relationship between legal certainty and legal fairness on this issue.
Trademark registration refers to the legal fact that a trademark user applies to the China National Intellectual Property Administration Trademark Office, the national trademark authority, for the registration of the trademark he uses according to the conditions and procedures prescribed by law, and the registration is approved by the national trademark authority according to law. In China, trademark registration is the premise of trademark protection and the legal basis for determining the exclusive right to use a trademark. Once a trademark user is approved for trademark registration, it means that he has obtained the exclusive right to use the trademark and is protected by law.
