Article 5 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) (hereinafter referred to as the Trademark Law) stipulates: "Two or more natural persons, legal persons or other organizations may apply to the Trademark Office for registration of the same trademark and jointly enjoy and exercise the trademark right." This refers to the trademark right obtained based on the same application of * * *. Although the * * * of intellectual property rights has long existed in our laws, such as cooperative works in our copyright law, it is the first time to stipulate the trademark right of * * * in the trademark law.
An important feature of * * trademark right is the diversity of its subject. * * * The subject with trademark right is two or more natural persons, legal persons or other organizations, indicating the plural number of the subject of right rather than the plural number of the object of right. Several people enjoy the exclusive right to the same trademark based on the same registration or the same assignee, which is the trademark right of * * * *; If it is the exclusive right of several trademarks enjoyed by the same subject, it does not constitute the trademark right of * * *.
Another characteristic of * * * trademark right is the oneness of right. * * * A trademark right is one trademark right instead of several trademark rights, and * * * one refers to * * * of the same trademark instead of * * * of several trademarks. If several people enjoy the exclusive right to use a trademark and the exclusive right to use b trademark, then two independent * * * have the trademark right, not one * * *.
It should be pointed out that * * * trademark ownership is the ownership of the same trademark by several people, which has nothing to do with the goods and services used by the trademark. If there is only one trademark owner, no matter how many kinds of goods or services the trademark is used in, it will not be a * * * trademark. On the contrary, a * * * trademark is a * * * trademark whether it is used in one or more goods or services. In other words, the trademark right of * * * will not be different because of the types of goods or services it uses.
