The principle of combining voluntary registration with compulsory registration The so-called voluntary registration principle means that the trademark owner decides whether to apply for trademark registration according to his own needs and wishes. The so-called compulsory registration principle refers to the mandatory provisions of the state that trademarks used by producers or operators on certain goods or services must be registered according to law before they can be used. Article 6 of the Trademark Law stipulates: "Goods that must use registered trademarks as stipulated by the state must apply for trademark registration, and may not be sold in the market without approval".
