What are the characteristics of color combination trademarks? What should I pay attention to?

Issues related to color combination trademarks Compared with three-dimensional trademarks, color combination trademarks are much simpler. As a color combination trademark, you should pay attention to the following issues:

1. Color combination trademarks do not include single color trademarks, or are called "single color trademarks" or "solid color trademarks". Currently, there are only a few countries and regions in the world that protect single-color trademarks, such as the United States, Germany, Italy, and South Korea. The protection of color combination trademarks is the minimum requirement of TRIPs, but the protection of single-color trademarks is not the minimum requirement of TRIPs.

2. Trademarks composed of ordinary words, patterns and colors are not color combination trademarks, but are just general combination trademarks.

3. Color combination trademark refers to a trademark composed of two or more colors arranged and combined.

4. The colors selected for color combination trademarks must be specifically limited and color samples must be provided. They cannot be generally expressed as "red, yellow, black", etc.

5. Color combination trademarks should not limit the specific shape, but should limit the scope of goods or services used.

6. Color combination trademarks must be distinctive, or become distinctive through use, before they can be registered.

7. Color combination trademarks should not be functional. (Zhuoyi Intellectual Property)
