Article 30 of the "Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that any trademark applied for registration does not comply with the relevant provisions of this law or has been registered with others on the same or similar goods. Or if the trademarks initially approved are identical or similar, the Trademark Office will reject the application and will not publish it.

Interpretation:

It can be seen from Article 30 of the "Trademark Law" that my country's trademark registration follows a "compulsory rejection system". As long as the applied trademark is similar to the cited trademark, that is, Applications for subsequent similar trademarks should be rejected.

To constitute the circumstances specified in this article, the following three requirements must be met at the same time, namely:

1. The trademark in dispute is identical or similar to the reference trademark;

2. The goods or services specified for the disputed trademark and the goods or services approved for use by the cited trademark constitute the same or similar goods or services;

3. The disputed trademark and the cited trademark co-exist on the same or similar goods or the service may easily lead to confusion and misunderstanding by the relevant public. In practice, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board and the courts have quite different standards for the use of this article.
