The Nice Agreement is an international convention attended by many countries. Its full name is the Nice Agreement on the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purpose of Trademark Registration. The agreement was signed in Nice, a city in southern France, on June 15, 1957, and came into effect on April 8, 1961. The number of member states of the Nice Agreement has grown to 65. Our country joined the Nice Union on August 9, 1994. The purpose of the Nice Agreement is to establish a consistent international classification system for goods and services for trademark registration and ensure its implementation. At present, the international classification system includes 45 categories, including 34 categories of goods and 11 categories of services. The system contains more than 10,000 goods and services. The goods and services that applicants need to report are generally included. This classification is used not only by all Nice Union member states, but also by non-Nice Union member states. The difference is that members of the Nice Union can participate in the revision of the classification list, while non-member states have no right to participate. At present, more than 130 countries and regions in the world have adopted this classification table. my country has adopted international classification since November 1, 1988, which greatly facilitates trademark applicants, further standardizes the management of trademark authorities, and closes ties with international trademark affairs. Especially since my country joined the Nice Agreement in 1994, we have actively participated in the modification and improvement of the Nice Classification, and have added a number of goods with Chinese characteristics to the Nice Classification.
