What is the success rate of trademark registration for one trademark including another?

In fact, it is a matter of trademark similarity judgment. It is easy to say and difficult to say. Professional matters should be left to professionals. There are many situations, for example, in Category 9:

1. The examiner will first check whether your registered trademark violates the trademark law, especially some involving politics, religion, pornography, gambling, drugs, and bad habits. The words, etc., and whether they are used on products in Category 9, are common words. If so, congratulations, there is no need to check for similarity, and the trademark will be rejected directly. If not, look down.

2. In addition to point 1, if someone registers "Panda", the group it registers is 0901, 0902; if you register "Smart Panda" in 0903, 0904 or other groups, because the group The groups are different, and the protected products do not conflict, so there is no similarity and no influence on each other. (Except for well-known trademarks and cross-protection), so the second point depends on whether the products conflict.

3. If the product you protect is also in 0901 or 0902, the examiner will judge whether "Panda" and "Smart Panda" are similar. Chinese trademarks generally look at the pronunciation, shape and meaning of characters, and a comprehensive look at these three aspects. If the meaning and shape of the words are similar, they are basically considered similar. This piece of knowledge requires rich experience. For example, "panda" and "giant panda" are similar, but not necessarily similar to "red panda", because red panda can be understood as "raccoon", panda and "smart panda" It can be considered similar or not, it depends on the examiner's opinion. Another example is "Panda" and "Panda Technology", "Panda Digital", "Panda Software", etc. These are similar, because words such as "technology, digital, software" are industry words and are not subject to review. Therefore, if the approximate judgment is completely different, it is fine. If it is approximate, it will test the salesman's level. Secondly, there are similar judgments on graphics, English and other trademarks.

4. Tell me your problem, including the relationship. If you have four words and the other person has two words, generally speaking, you have an advantage and think they are not similar. Because the shape and meaning of the two characters are quite different. For example, if you register "Big Panda" and the other party registers "Big Bear" or "Big Cat", "Big Panda" will still have a very high success rate because the meaning is different, so it will not cause misunderstanding among consumers. If you register "Beautiful Hometown" and the other party registers Meili, Hometown, Lijia, Meixiang, Meijia, etc., the impact on you will be small. It may only be affected if the other party has registered "Meilijia" or "Meilixiang".
