What are the third and fourth standards for trademark registration and classification?

Nowadays, there are more and more applicants for trademark registration. If there is no specific management method for so many trademarks, the market will be chaotic, so there must be a reasonable trademark classification. Today, Bajie Xiaobian will give you a good introduction to the third and fourth standards of trademark registration classification!

Classification according to the particularity of trademarks

1. Well-known trademarks: trademarks that are widely known to the relevant public and enjoy a high reputation. Such as Lenovo and Tong Ren Tang.

2. Joint trademark: the same trademark owner registers two or more similar trademarks in the same or similar goods and services. For example, Quanjude Food Group also registered trademarks such as Quanjude, Quanjude, Junjude, Junjude, Junjude and Dejude, which constitute joint trademarks. If Beijing Electric Power Company wants to register the trademarks of Nortel, Jingdian, Beigong and Jinggong, it is a joint trademark.

3. defensive trade mark: The trademark owner will register the same trademark in categories other than the goods and services approved for use of the trademark, so as to prevent other operators from maliciously registering and using it. For example, Haier Group has registered the "Haier" trademark in all commodity categories. State Grid Corporation of China has registered in all categories, and is not ready to use them all, so the Globe trademark is also a kind of defensive trade mark.

4. Geographical indications: A commodity will have specific quality, reputation or other characteristics due to the influence of unique natural factors or human factors in a certain area. And the specific symbol used to indicate that a commodity comes from this area is geographical indication. Such as "Lanzhou Lily", "Korla Fragrant Pear" and "Xinyang Maojian Tea".

5. Collective trademark refers to a sign registered in the name of a group, association or other organization, which is used by members of the organization in commercial activities to show the membership of users in the organization. The Trademark Law and the Regulations on the Implementation of Trademarks stipulate that the main body of the applicant for collective trademark registration should be an organization, which can be an industrial or commercial group, an association, a guild or other organization, but not a single enterprise legal person or natural person. Judging from this regulation, the ball logo of State Grid Corporation of China is not a collective trademark, although it has been authorized to be used by all its subsidiaries.

Classification according to whether or not to register trademarks

1. Registered trademarks: trademarks that have been applied to the national trademark authorities for registration and approved for use.

2. unregistered trademark: a commodity mark used by a user on a commodity without applying for registration with the state trademark administration authority. According to China's trademark law and other industrial and commercial management laws and regulations, only registered trademarks are protected by law. The use of trademarks by unregistered trademark users does not violate the provisions of China's trademark laws and regulations, and may not infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of registered trademark owners.
