Ceramic tile is a kind of acid and alkali resistant ceramic or stone building or decoration material, which is made of refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides with high hardness. The commonness of ceramic tiles is something that people can see almost every day. The floor decorated at home, or the floor tiles of some companies, and the half walls of school classrooms are mostly ceramic tiles. So how to choose the category of ceramic tile trademark?

Inquired in Bajie Intellectual Property Trademark Encyclopedia, the trademark category of ceramic tile is 19-1906- building ceramic tile-ceramic tile C 1900 14. Ceramic tiles are also one of the necessary items for decoration. Because of the existence of the construction industry, the demand for ceramic tiles has been very mild.

It's also a cliche. People always expect all the results when registering a trademark, but they are not very good at protecting the trademark in the subsequent period, so this is why there will always be trademark squatting and trademark infringement in society, and many laws in the trademark law are also set for infringement.

So how should an enterprise protect its trademark after approving it? First of all, enterprises should establish a complete trademark information verification, clearly grasp the number of registered trademarks, unregistered trademarks and well-known trademarks, the scope of goods or services specified by trademarks, the effective period of trademarks, the actual use of trademarks, the permitted use of trademarks, the application and use of trademarks, and the preservation of rights protection materials.

The second is to clarify the term of the trademark. The period of validity of a registered trademark is ten years, and the renewal formalities shall be handled in time before the expiration. The renewal can be divided into pre-expiration renewal and post-expiration renewal, and can only be renewed within six months after the expiration of the trademark at the latest. More importantly, we should also ensure the effective use of registered trademarks. If a registered trademark is not used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons, it will face the risk of being revoked.

Finally, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and management of external information, regularly search and check the trademarks announced in the preliminary examination and approval of China National Intellectual Property Administration, pay close attention to the trademark use of competitors in the same industry, track the trademark infringement information of others, and take timely measures to crack down on infringement. If a trademark is found to be similar to its registered trademark within the validity period, an objection may be raised during the trademark announcement period to prevent the registration of the trademark.

In fact, trademark registration is not the last step of a trademark, and the trademark in use is not foolproof. Trademark imitation tells enterprises all the time that there are many things about trademark infringement. If you are not careful, you will have similar ideas to divest some consumers, which will lead to a decline in the reputation of your own company. Therefore, the protection of trademarks in use is also a very important requirement.
