A trademark is a sign that distinguishes the source of goods or services. Each registered trademark is designated for use on a certain product or service. It is precisely for the needs of trademark retrieval, review, and management that certain goods with the same attributes are grouped together into one category, and all goods and services are divided into 45 categories to form a trademark Classification Schedule - "Classification of Goods and Services for Trademark Registration".

1. Including classification

1. The classification table arranged by category arranges the goods and services in the order of categories 1-45.

Each category has a category number and title. The title of each category summarizes the characteristics and scope of the goods included in this category. Finally, it lists all the goods or services included in this category. Each product or Services have a sequence number for easy retrieval.

In addition, each category has an annotation, which explains what products this category mainly includes, how this category is distinguished from related categories of products, and how to classify marginal products.

2. The other part is a classification list of goods and services arranged in alphabetical order.

The World Intellectual Property Organization publishes a classification table of goods and services arranged in English and French. The Chinese trademark authority has also compiled and printed a classification table of goods and services arranged in Chinese pinyin order. Using this table to look up general product categories is as easy as looking up a dictionary.

2. Development process

In the past, the trademark authorities of each country formulated their own commodity classification tables based on their own national conditions and understanding of the goods, for the trademark authorities and Used by trademark registration applicants. The product classification list is not static. It will be gradually increased and revised with the enrichment of commodities and people's understanding of commodities.

Since 1923, China has formulated and published five commodity classification tables. By the 1950s, the world economy had achieved greater development and international exchanges had become more frequent.

Some countries believe that the use of their own commodity classification schedules cannot adapt to international connections on trademark matters, causing trouble for trademark owners to register abroad, and is not conducive to the development of the trademark industry and economic development. The trademark authorities of these countries believe that there is a need for an internationally unified commodity classification table for trademark registration. In this case the Nice Agreement was born.
