Can two or more natural persons and legal persons jointly apply for registration of the same trademark?
Article 5 of the Trademark Law stipulates: "Two or more natural persons, legal persons or other organizations may apply to the Trademark Office for registration of the same trademark, and both parties shall enjoy and exercise the exclusive right to use the trademark." It can be seen that more than two natural persons and legal persons can apply for the registration of the same trademark and enjoy the exclusive right to use the trademark, which is also one of the important contents added after the revision of the Trademark Law.

China's trademark law has no restrictions on the scope of goods or services used by ordinary trademarks and the additional conditions of the use area. Compared with independent registered proprietary trademarks, ordinary trademarks have much lower freedom of return. Therefore, enterprises should take trademark registration as a compulsory choice.

If there is no designated representative, the first person in the application sequence should be the representative.
