3. It is of great significance to determine the date of application under the principle of prior application. The date of application is generally based on the date when the Trademark Office receives the application documents. Where the applicant enjoys priority, the priority date shall be the filing date. According to the Trademark Law, there are two situations in which priority can be enjoyed:

(1) If an applicant for trademark registration applies for trademark registration in China for the same commodity with the same trademark within six months from the date of the first application for trademark registration in a foreign country, he can enjoy priority according to the agreement signed between the foreign country and China or the international treaties to which both countries are parties, or according to the principle of mutual recognition of priority;

(2) If a trademark is used for the first time in an international exhibition sponsored or recognized by the China Municipal Government, the applicant for registration of the trademark may enjoy priority within 6 months from the date of exhibition of the commodity.

How to identify approximate trademarks

Approximate trademarks refer to the similarity in font, pronunciation and meaning of trademark characters, the similarity in composition, coloring and appearance of trademark graphics, or the similarity in overall arrangement and combination of characters and graphics, the similarity in shape and appearance of three-dimensional signs of three-dimensional trademarks, and the similarity in color or color combination of color trademarks. When used in the same or similar goods or services, it is easy for the relevant public to misunderstand the source of goods or services.

to determine the identity and similarity of trademarks, we should first determine whether the goods or services designated for use belong to the same or similar goods or services; Secondly, from the aspects of the shape, sound, meaning and overall expression of the trademark itself, taking the general attention of the relevant public as the standard, and adopting the method of overall observation and comparison of the main parts, we can judge whether the trademark logo itself is the same or similar.

Correctly judging similar trademarks and rationally solving similar trademark disputes according to law are not only conducive to safeguarding the exclusive right of registered trademarks of enterprises and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and consumers, but also conducive to promoting the implementation of the brand strategy of enterprises and promoting the sound and rapid development of the national economy.
