What is the cross-class protection of well-known trademarks?

Legal analysis: "(1) A trademark applied for registration of the same or similar goods is a well-known trademark copied, imitated or translated by others that is not registered in China, which may easily lead to confusion, so it shall not be registered and prohibited from being used. (2) If the trademark applied for registration of different or similar goods is a well-known trademark that has been registered in China by others, misleading the public and possibly damaging the interests of the registrant of the well-known trademark, it shall not be registered and its use shall be prohibited. (3) If a registered trademark violates the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law, the trademark owner or interested party may request the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board to make a ruling to cancel the registered trademark within five years from the date of trademark registration. For malicious registration, the owner of a well-known trademark is not subject to a five-year time limit.
