Trademark squatting

The meaning of the term trademark squatting has gone through two stages of development. The objects of trademark squatting in the first stage are basically limited to unregistered trademarks.

At this stage, the connotation of trademark squatting has been further expanded. The act of applying for registration of someone else's trademark or well-known trademark on non-similar goods or services is also a squatting registration.

Furthermore, the act of applying for registration of other people’s innovative designs, design patents, company names and trade names, copyrights and other prior rights as trademarks should also be regarded as trademark squatting. Trademark squatting can be divided into a narrow sense and a broad sense. Trademark squatting in the narrow sense refers to the competitive behavior of registering a trademark before the original trademark owner to obtain economic benefits.
