What are the requirements for applying for a sound trademark?
Most of the intellectual property we usually talk about is copyright, copyright, patent right and so on. There are few trademark rights such as voice. Trademark registration is usually in the form of icons, and trademarks are rarely registered by sound. So what are the requirements for applying for a sound trademark?
(1) The registration of a sound trademark shall meet substantive conditions, and be significant and non-functional.
Significantness is the soul of trademark protection, and sound trademarks should meet the requirements of distinctiveness like ordinary trademarks. Article 9 of the Trademark Law stipulates that a trademark applied for registration shall have distinctive features and be easy to identify. The criterion for judging the distinctiveness of sound trademarks is whether consumers can distinguish the source of goods or services from the perspective of hearing according to sound signs under general concern.
For those common voices that can't distinguish the source of goods or services, such as ordinary birds, dogs, horns, firecrackers and so on. , they cannot be approved for registration.
(b) The registration of sound trademarks should also meet the non-functional requirements.
The functionality of the logo means that the characteristics of the logo are produced by the nature of the commodity itself, which is necessary to obtain technical effects or make the commodity have substantial value. For example, an ordinary atm machine will make a "Hua-La" counting sound when issuing money, which is a functional sound, so it cannot be registered as an atm machine trademark.
