A trademark is a sign that distinguishes the source of goods or services. Each registered trademark is designated for a certain product or service. For example, when it comes to Changhong, people will think of color TVs; when it comes to Maotai, people will think of wine; when it comes to Maxam, people will think of cosmetics and so on. It should be said that there is no trademark that exists independently of goods or services. Therefore, when applying for trademark registration, correctly describing the goods or services to be designated and their categories are the first problems that trademark applicants (agents) will encounter.

Many different departments need to classify goods for management, statistics and other work needs. For example, from the perspective of national economic management, commodities are usually divided into two categories: industrial products and agricultural products. Industrial products are further divided into heavy industrial products and light industrial products. Heavy industrial products can be further divided into metallurgical industrial products, mechanical industrial products, etc. The national trademark authority also needs to classify goods for the purpose of trademark registration and management. Trademark registration and management should be said to be a large and complex systematic project, and the classification of goods and services is a basic work of the Trademark Office. There are currently more than 7 million registered trademarks in our country. Without a scientific classification management system, it is almost impossible to search, query, and read a trademark, just like finding a needle in a haystack.

It is precisely for the needs of trademark search, review, and management that certain goods with the same attributes are grouped together into one category, and all goods and services are divided into The 45 categories form the "Classification of Goods and Services for Trademark Registration" that we are going to describe here. For example, "industrial oils and greases, lubricants, supplies for absorbing, spraying and bonding dust, fuels (including gasoline for motors) and lighting agents, candles, wicks", etc. are grouped together to form one category (Category 4) ; Another example is to combine "surgical, medical, dental and veterinary instruments and instruments, prosthetic limbs, prosthetic eyes and teeth, orthopedic supplies, suture materials" to form another category (Category 10). The search and retrieval system of the Trademark Office is established according to the categories of goods and services; the "Trademark Announcement" is organized according to categories; applicants must apply for trademark registration according to categories; the trademark registration certificate issued by the Trademark Office to the registrant must also be marked. Goods or services and their categories.
