Trademark registration is the main way to obtain trademark rights.

Trademark registration conditions are an important part of trademark review.

1. A trademark has distinctive characteristics

The distinctive characteristics (Distinctness) of a trademark generally refer to the uniqueness and novelty of a trademark that distinguishes it from other trademarks. Since there are no clear and specific standards for "distinctive features" in law, people generally judge the distinctive features of a trademark based on three standards in practice, namely: different from extremely simple symbols; different from common and industry trademarks. A mark used; a mark that distinguishes it from the designated goods.

Having distinctive features is an important condition that a trademark applying for registration must meet. A trademark that does not meet this condition cannot meet the basic requirements of a trademark and cannot be approved for registration.

The following situations are considered not to have distinctive features in most countries:

(1) The trademark uses a common product name or graphic in the industry. For example, if "cow" is used as a trademark pattern for milk powder, since cow is a common product image in this industry, the trademark does not have distinctive features and cannot be registered.

(2) The trademark adopts a geographical name. According to international practice, many countries and regions prohibit the use of geographical names as trademarks because geographical names cannot distinguish different producers and operators of goods.

(3) The trademark only consists of words and graphics indicating the quality of the product, main raw materials, or functions, uses and other characteristics. Such as cashmere plush, gold pens, etc. The use of such trademarks will cause the goods to be confused with other similar goods.

(4) The trademark consists of simple Arabic numerals. Using Arabic numerals as a trademark will make it difficult to identify, and it will also cause misunderstanding when used on certain products. For example, the trademark used for shoes is easy to be confused with the size. Most countries stipulate that digital trademarks are not allowed to be registered. For example, the application for registration of the "555" brand battery produced in Guangzhou in Pakistan, Kenya and other countries was not approved.

Prohibited Marks are words or graphics that are clearly stipulated in the Trademark Law and cannot be used as trademarks.

The purpose of prohibiting signs is to protect the interests of society and the public from harm.

Almost every country has stipulated prohibited signs for trademarks, but the number varies.

International trademark conventions or agreements also stipulate the scope of prohibited marks. What are the methods for international trademark registration in Beijing?
