Second, China's trademark registration is protected by category. Generally speaking, a category is divided into several similar groups, and the goods in each group are not similar. If someone applies for a trademark in a group of this category, then others can't apply for the same or similar trademark in that group, but they can apply for the same trademark in other groups, which is not against the law.
