The “first to register” principle represented by most European countries and China. The first-to-register procedure is based on the date on which the application is received by the Trademark Office. After the registration number is obtained, registration will be granted first in accordance with the principle of first-to-application, first-to-number. This approach is actually a principle of obtaining the exclusive rights of a trademark through registration. Whoever registers first will get the exclusive rights.
