Then the car will always be contaminated with some dust or other things during long-term driving, especially in rainy days. Although the rain can be washed away temporarily, there will be some sludge behind it, so it is very necessary to wash the car at this time.

What kind of car wash shop trademark belongs to? We can know from the Trademark Encyclopedia of Bajie Intellectual Property Website that the trademark of car wash shop belongs to the 37th category -377- land machinery vehicle maintenance-automobile maintenance and repair 376; 3714- tire maintenance service.
there are always some things to pay attention to in trademark registration of car wash shops. After applying for registration, it needs to be reviewed by the Trademark Office, and the shortest time to wait until the final trademark registration is approved is also one year. So what is the Trademark Office mainly reviewing? Can you pay more attention to whether your trademark meets the requirements according to the content of the review?
The first thing to examine is whether the elements of a registered trademark are one or more of those stipulated by law. In the Trademark Law, it is clearly stated that the components of a trademark are copywriting, pattern, letters, numbers, three-dimensional signs and color composition, and the above factors. A combination of several elements or a single element can be registered as a trademark.
the distinctiveness of the trademark itself, "the trademark applied for registration should have distinctive features, which is conducive to identification". The distinctiveness of a trademark is a necessary condition of a trademark and the basis of the exclusive right to use a trademark. The practical application of trademarks in the market is to distinguish the existence of other commodities, so trademark distinctiveness is an important point in trademark verification. Let's take a look at the elements that are not significant:
① the general name, pattern and logo that directly describes the characteristics of this product.
② too simple/complicated composition of copywriting, patterns, letters, numbers, three-dimensional labels, colors, or the above factors.
③ each component of a trademark cannot form a whole composition of copywriting, patterns, letters, numbers, three-dimensional labels and colors, or the above factors: the composition form is loose and cannot form a whole; Performance information is difficult to connect and lacks significant parts.
in addition, a trademark cannot conflict with a registered trademark. If the trademark is similar to the registered trademark of others, it is easy to cause confusion. The trademark cannot conflict with the trademark in the preliminary examination announcement. The trademark announced in the preliminary examination has the right of prior application and is protected by law. If the newly applied trademark is similar to the trademark in the preliminary examination announcement, the Trademark Office will reject the newly registered trademark according to the regulations.
trademarks should not conflict with trademarks. Trademark right is an industrial property right determined by the administrative department for industry and commerce and protected according to the relevant laws and regulations. If the newly registered trademark is the same as other people's trademark names, it will easily lead to confusion in economic activities. Trademark should not conflict with patent right and copyright of design. The patent right and copyright of design are protected by the Intellectual Property Law, and the copy and design of the newly applied trademark cannot be approved for registration if it infringes on the copyright or patent right of others.
it is also important that trademarks should not conflict with citizenship rights. The right to citizenship is protected by laws and regulations. Without my permission, you may not use other people's portraits, names, stage names or pen names as trademarks.
last but not least, the application for trademark registration needs to conform to the law. There are some elements in the trademark law that cannot be registered as trademarks, so enterprises should try their best to avoid trademarks composed of these elements, such as marks that are the same as or similar to those of countries and intergovernmental international organizations. Words and graphics that are easy to have adverse effects; Names of administrative divisions at or above the county level and foreign place names known to the public.
In general, the substantive examination of trademarks by the Trademark Office is the examination of the above data, so enterprises should always pay attention to the wrong operations that their trademarks can detect and correct them in time in order to pass the examination smoothly.
