What are the provisions on the business scope of trademarks?
When applying for trademark registration, you should try to fill in the commodity name or service items specified in the Table for Distinguishing Similar Goods and Services. Commodity name or service item is one of the central links of the whole trademark registration work, which determines the scope of registered trademark protection, that is, the business scope of registered trademarks. According to the provisions of Article 23 of the Trademark Law, if a registered trademark needs to obtain the exclusive right to use a trademark on goods outside the approved scope of use, a separate application for registration shall be filed.

When applying for trademark registration, you must specify the specific commodity name and service items. In addition, the goods or services declared in the application form can only be limited to one category. Commodity names or service items shall be specific, accurate and standardized, and the scope of protection of the trademark shall be clearly defined. Generally speaking, when a commodity has a conventional name in the commodity classification table, the standard name in the classification table should be used.

If it is used beyond the approved trademark business scope, it may lead to serious consequences such as trademark infringement and counterfeiting of registered trademarks, and damage the reputation of its own trademarks and brands. Registered trademarks in China can be divided into 45 categories. Before applying for trademark registration, the application form for trademark registration should be filled in correctly according to the scope of use of the trademark. If an enterprise produces and operates a wide variety of goods and services, it can register multiple trademarks of multiple categories to expand the scope of use.
