Problem description:

If I register a tailor's shop or a hotel trademark in XXX, if someone uses the name of Century XXX or Times XXX, is it infringement? Can he register such a trademark?

Analysis:

The function of a trademark is to distinguish different suppliers of goods or services. A registered trademark shall meet the requirements of 1 and shall not violate the national laws prohibiting registration. 2. Do not conflict with prior rights (including trademark rights); This is of great significance in itself.

The words "century" and "times" added before and after the trademark are very weak. In the whole trademark, "century XXX" and "XXX era" are not the main identification parts, so "century XXX" and "XXX era" and your "XXX" can be regarded as approximate trademarks.

But before seeing your trademark, this is only a preliminary judgment. I can only make it after seeing your standard sample, because the similarity depends on the distinctiveness of your trademark.

At present, the success rate of trademark objection is 30% to 40%. Based on this, I strongly suggest that if you raise an objection, you should find a professional agency and a professional intellectual property lawyer to fully demonstrate the reasons for the objection and improve your success rate.

I am a professional intellectual property consultant. You can communicate with me further if you have any questions. QQ***********
