Principle of prior application for trademark use
The use of trademarks in China is based on the prior application, and some of them are not. Take the trademark laws of Britain and Iceland as examples. For example, trademark registration confirms the acquisition of trademark rights, and allows the use of trademarks during the period, and also allows the use of trademarks first, but unregistered people continue to use them. However, the rights of trademark users are of course limited to the scope of their own trademark registration, and do not include more scope of use. However, if you want to transfer the trademark, you must transfer it with the enterprise.

Every trademark has different rules. For example, China's trademark law stipulates the principle of prior application, that is, the trademark belongs to who registers first, not who uses it first. Moreover, there is also a blind inspection period of trademarks in China, which is also the stage of trademark submission and registration. The trademark status can't be inquired, but the applicant owns the trademark, which can't be registered.

Under the premise of "application first" principle, combined with "application first" principle, it is a practical and flexible principle of preliminary examination and approval of trademarks. So why do we often say that the trademark is registered first? So if you want a trademark, you should leave and register immediately, or buy a trademark.
