At present, China implements the International Classification of Goods and Services for trademark registration. Based on the tenth edition of Nice Classification, this classification divides trademark registration categories into 45 categories, of which 1-34 is the commodity classification and 35-45 is the service classification.

Trademark type:

(1) According to the different trademark structures, trademarks can be divided into word mark, graphic trademarks, letter trademarks, digital trademarks, three-dimensional symbols, color combination trademarks and combination trademarks of the above trademark components.

(2) According to different trademark users, trademarks can be divided into manufacturing trademarks and selling trademarks.

(3) According to the different functions of trademarks, trademarks can be divided into defensive trade mark, joint trademarks, collective trademarks and certification trademarks.

(4) According to the different status of trademark protection, trademarks are divided into registered trademarks and unregistered trademarks.

The steps of trademark registration are:

1. Design the trademark to be registered in advance.

2. Determine the scope of use of the trademark.

3. Check whether the trademark is pre-registered. Go to the website of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to check whether the trademark is registered. If it is registered, you need to change the trademark before submitting it. You can also submit a registration application without registration.

4. Submit materials to the local industrial and commercial bureau. To register a trademark, an individual needs to submit two copies of his ID card, six designs of the trademark and an application for trademark registration with his own signature.

5. Waiting for the examination of the Trademark Office.

6. Publicity period. After passing the preliminary examination of the Trademark Office, that is, entering the three-month publicity period, anyone can raise any objection, and the registration can be successful without objection. If there is any objection, you should reply to the trademark objection, and you can successfully register after the reply is passed.

7. Publication of trademarks. After the publicity period, the Trademark Office will issue a document announcing that the trademark registration is successful, that is, it can be used. At this time, the trademark is protected by law.
