With the continuous development of China's social economy, the number of trademark applications and registrations has increased substantially year by year, which brings more and more difficulties and risks to trademark registration applications. So, what relevant knowledge do you need to know before electronic product trademark registration? Details are as follows:

A trademark is a symbol used by producers and operators of commodities on the commodities they produce, manufacture, process, select and distribute or on the services provided by service providers, so as to distinguish the commodities or services of one operator from those of other operators.

2. What are the registered trademarks?

Trademarks approved for registration by the Trademark Office are registered trademarks, including commodity trademarks, service trademarks, collective trademarks and certification trademarks.
