Trademarks can of course be registered in 45 categories at one time
What are the benefits of registering trademarks in all 45 categories?
1. After you register it yourself, it will be more difficult for anyone else to register the same or similar trademark in any major category. This will cause many people to give up applying for registration of identical or similar trademarks in this category.
If you have not registered in the 45 major categories, after you have gained a certain degree of popularity, others may register the same or similar trademarks in certain categories.
2. Once the registration is successful, if others use it without consent, you can ask others to stop using it to prevent your trademark from being diluted.
3. If others take a fancy to a trademark in a certain category, they may spend a lot of money to buy it and earn a fee for themselves.
What are the disadvantages of registering trademarks in all 45 categories?
1. Registration costs are high. Trademarks are charged per trademark. The cost of registering 45 trademarks is much higher than the cost of registering several trademarks.
During the registration process, you may encounter rejection review, objection defense, objection review, withdrawal, withdrawal review, dispute, dispute defense, etc., which consumes both manpower and material resources.
2. Trademark maintenance costs are high.
Once the business address or name changes, all trademarks under the name must be changed. Managing trademarks in an enterprise also requires labor.
3. With 45 major categories registered, there are bound to be situations where some trademarks are not used. If someone else uses your trademark without your consent, and you do not use the trademark, you can only ask others to stop using it and stop infringement, but you cannot ask the other party to pay compensation for infringement. Therefore, it is not completely preventable from being used by others.
4. If someone else wants to register an identical or similar trademark in a certain category, they may request to cancel it and not use it for three years. If the trademark has indeed not been used for three consecutive years, it is still very likely that the trademark will be revoked and someone else will successfully register it. Therefore, it does not completely prevent others from successfully registering.
5. If your trademark is not a made-up word, then even if you register the trademark for all categories, it is very likely that others will not cause any harm to you if others use the same trademark on products that are not similar to your core products. Adverse effects.
