Class 35 is a service trademark, which mainly includes advertising services, chain operation services, sales services (promoting for others), auditing, seeking sponsorship, personnel management, etc. Generally, the most commonly used ones are commercial sales and chain operations.

After applying for a trademark but before getting the registration certificate, you can register a TM to indicate that you will use it as a trademark, but it will have no legal effect. After getting the registration certificate, you can add R, but the registered trademark can also be not marked with anything. If it is not marked, it will be protected as a registered trademark, and whether it is marked with R or not is not the criterion; when advertising in newspapers or on TV, it is still specific. This can only be done after the product is registered. For example, if the food you buy is pork, you must register it on Category 29 Pork before you can get an R. Category 35 is only for sales and can be marked in stores, just like Ginza, RT-Mart, etc. It can be marked in stores.

Nowadays, some websites are protected as trademarks, but the core part is the domain name, which needs to be queried. If others do not use this domain name, it is fine. The biggest difference between a domain name and a trademark is that it is OK as long as the domain name is not exactly the same. It does not matter if the trademark is the same or similar. You can tell whether it is the same or not at a glance. Whether it is similar or not requires some professional knowledge in trademark review. I am ranked among the top ten in the country.
