Trademark classification is mainly divided into two categories, one is goods and the other is services. Among them, 1-34 is commodity classification, and 35-45 is service classification. There are many subcategories in each category.
1, which can be queried through "Similar Goods and Services Differentiation Table".
You can query by keywords in the updated list of similar goods and services, such as clothing and coffee machines, but you need to remind everyone that the keywords in the small category are different from the words we usually say. For example, there will be no keywords for men's wear and women's wear in the table, but there will be keywords for clothing.
2. First determine the scope of goods or services registered with trademarks.
As mentioned above, 35 categories in trademark classification were all commodities before, followed by services. First, determine the general scope according to the industry and business conditions, and then choose the broad categories of trademark categories.
3. First determine the core category of the trademark, and then select the sub-category.
After determining the category of registered trademarks, we will choose the subcategories of trademarks according to our business scope.
4. Trademark category planning and registration of relevant trademark categories.
When registering a trademark, it is necessary to plan the registered trademark categories according to the relevant scope of the existing goods or services and the subsequent business plan, register and protect the trademark brand in advance, and all 45 categories can be registered if conditions permit. We must attach importance to and improve our awareness of trademark protection, and prevent others from preempting trademarks and making wedding dresses for others.
Trademark inquiry must be carried out after the category of registered trademark is determined.
After selecting the registered trademark category according to the above business scope, the trademark inquiry will be carried out next. If there is a trademark with the same name or similar in the category we want to register, especially in the core category, the possibility of being rejected after submitting the application for trademark registration will be very high. If we find this situation, we might as well change the trademark name or trademark design before submitting the application for trademark registration.
