A drone is simply an unmanned aircraft, but this type of aircraft is actually smaller, so it is more suitable for remote control. In fact, in real life, drones have gradually integrated into people's lives. Obviously, drones are more suitable for forms such as aerial photography. There are other applications in military or civil affairs. So where is the trademark of drones? Which category should I choose?

As far as trademark classification is concerned, it is still necessary to choose the appropriate category in time before it can be used in the market. That is to say, the conclusion obtained through the search in the Trademark Classification Encyclopedia is that the category of the UAV trademark is in the 12th category "1209-Aerial vehicles (excluding aircraft tires)-Military UAV 120273, Civilian UAV 120275 ”, the classification has gradually become clear.

As for the Changchun trademark extension issue, in fact, during the extension period, someone else used the trademark without the permission of the trademark registrant. On the surface, it seems to be an infringement. But in fact it still depends on time, but before that, you can first understand the purpose of trademark broadening. This will have to involve issues of trademark renewal and trademark validity.

Trademark extension is after the trademark is renewed. Renewal refers to the situation where the trademark will no longer have legal protection because the ten-year validity period of the trademark has expired. The trademark is extended within one year before expiration. If you renew a trademark, you can keep the trademark valid for another ten years. If the company fails to renew the trademark in time during this period, then it is time for trademark extension. Extension is carried out within six months after the trademark expires.

Having said that, let’s get back to the topic. If someone else uses this trademark during the trademark extension period, will it be considered an infringement and subject to relevant penalties? This depends on the situation. If the trademark registrant applies for trademark renewal during the extension period, and the application has been approved by the Trademark Office, indicating that the company still owns the trademark, the trademark is also protected, and the unauthorized use of the same or similar trademark by others is trademark infringement;

But if the company does not apply for trademark renewal during the extension period, or it does but does not get approval from the Trademark Office, it means that someone else is using the same or similar trademark as the trademark registrant. , because the trademark currently has no ownership, this is not considered trademark infringement.

So regarding the use of trademarks during the extension period, the infringement behavior of others is also determined based on the actual situation. If the trademark registrant really wants to continue to use the trademark in the future, it should not be during the extension period. The trademark renewal should be completed directly during the extension period. Moreover, the cost of renewal during the extension period is less than that during the extension period. of spending.
