Generally speaking, natural persons cannot be the subject of trademark registration. However, my country’s Trademark Law does not restrict natural persons from applying for trademarks. However, not all natural persons can apply for trademark registration. However, in the following two situations, natural persons can become the subject of trademark registration: Bajie Zhi Industry Trademark Transfer Network analyzes for you:

1. Article 9 of the "Trademark Law" stipulates: "Foreigners or foreign enterprises applying for trademark registration in China shall apply for trademark registration in accordance with the laws of their country of origin and the People's Republic of China* The agreement signed between ** and the country or the international treaty to which ** is a party, or handled according to the principle of reciprocity.” Therefore, foreign natural persons can apply for trademark registration in our country in their own names.

2. A natural person as an individual industrial and commercial household can apply for trademark registration in his or her own name. That is, if an individual industrial and commercial household applies for industrial and commercial business registration, it may have a font size or no font size. For individual businesses that do not have a trademark, they can apply for trademark registration in their own name.

The reason why my country’s current laws stipulate that natural persons generally cannot be the subject of trademark registration was mainly due to the limited resources for applying for trademark registration, and trademarks are mainly tools for market competition, and it is necessary to apply for trademark registration. Mainly include various market entities, namely enterprises, institutions and individual industrial and commercial persons. General natural persons do not engage in production and operation, so they do not need to apply for trademark registration. Moreover, the differential treatment of natural persons at home and abroad is not conducive to the production, operation and investment of our domestic citizens, and is obviously unfair to our citizens in market competition. Currently, the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China is being revised. It is understood that the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce has already been aware of this problem and will propose in the revised draft that it no longer restricts natural persons in my country from applying for trademark registration in their own names.
