1. Ordinary trademarks (commodity trademarks, service trademarks)
Ordinary trademarks (commodity trademarks, service trademarks) are the most basic forms of trademark use. Registration and management shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law (the latest revised version on October 27, 2001) and the Implementing Regulations of the Trademark Law (the latest version on August 3, 2002).
1. Product trademark
A product trademark is the mark of the product. It is the most basic form of expression of a trademark, and what is usually called a trademark mainly refers to a commodity trademark.
Once a product trademark is registered by a production (sales) enterprise, the enterprise has the exclusive right to use the product trademark and is protected by law.
Commodity trademarks can be divided into industrial trademarks of commodity producers and commercial trademarks of commodity sellers.
Industrial trademark: refers to a trademark that clearly indicates the producer of the product (also called a manufacturing trademark). This kind of trademark has the same meaning as a "manufacturer's name". It enables the goods produced by the commodity producer to have the producer's mark, thereby distinguishing it from other producers, and conveying to consumers the meaning contained in the producer of a certain commodity. Information and sources.
Commercial trademark: refers to the trademark used by sellers (operators) to sell goods (also called sales trademarks). The focus of this kind of trademark is to promote the mark of the seller of the goods, not the producer of the goods. Those who use such trademarks are often commercial enterprises with high reputation and strength. They produce goods with their own trademarks under OEM brands, thereby ensuring some credibility to consumers.
Generally, there is no distinction between the above two trademark types when used, and they are both used as commodity trademarks.
2. Service trademarks
Service trademarks (also known as service marks or labor marks) refer to operators who provide services to distinguish the services they provide from those provided by others. And use the logo. Also called a service mark. Service marks also consist of words, graphics, letters, numbers, three-dimensional logos and colors, as well as combinations of the above elements.
In economic activities, the products of some enterprises are not provided to consumers as tangible goods, but as some kind of commercial services to meet the needs of consumers. Such as travel services, repair services, insurance services, entertainment services, transportation services, postal and telecommunications services, etc. Such different "products" provided by different companies also need different marks to distinguish them. For example, China's Civil Aviation Airlines, Britain's British Airways, Germany's Lufthansa, etc., all provide the same service, but each has a different service mark.
Service trademarks have the same nature as commodity trademarks, except that commodity trademarks provide consumers with goods, while service trademarks provide consumers with services. The services referred to here refer to services with labor elements provided by the tertiary industry for consumers. The legal provisions regarding commodity trademarks in the "Trademark Law" (the second revised edition on October 27, 2001) and the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Trademark Law" (edition on August 3, 2002) also apply to service marks. See the National Trademark Administration for Industry and Commerce The Trademark Office of the Administration Bureau's "Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Protection of Service Marks" [Trademark (1999) No. 12].
Similar to commodity trademarks, once a service trademark is registered by a service enterprise, the enterprise also has the exclusive right to use the trademark and is protected by law.
Compared with commodity trademarks, service trademarks are a new thing that appeared relatively recently. On February 22, 1993, my country adopted the first revised Trademark Law (No. 1 of February 22, 1993). The second revised edition) has added provisions on service marks. The significance of strengthening the protection of service trademarks is to create a fair competition mechanism in the service industry, which is conducive to the development of the tertiary industry.

3. Certification of Origin Trademarks and Geographical Indications
1. The Concept of “Geographical Indications”
WTO (World Trade Organization) Intellectual Property Agreement "Trade-related Section 3 of Part II of the Agreement on Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS for short) stipulates the obligations of members to protect geographical indications. The TRIPS Agreement defines "geographical indications": Geographical indications refer to signs that prove that a product originates from a certain member country or a certain region or a certain location within the region. Is some particular quality, reputation or other characteristic of the product essentially attributable to that geographical origin?
A geographical indication is an indication of the origin of a particular product. It can be the name of a country, the name of an administrative division and the name of a region or region that will not cause misunderstanding.
There are three basic characteristics of geographical indications: 1. It indicates the true source of the goods or services (i.e. the geographical location of the origin); 2. The goods or services have unique quality, reputation or other characteristics; 3. .The quality or characteristic is essentially attributable to its particular geographical origin.
From the above definition, it is not difficult to see that the geographical indications that the TRIPS Agreement requires member states to protect are actually more special geographical indications, which are closer to the names of origins.
2. The concept of "appellation of origin"
Provisions on appellations of origin according to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and the Lisbon Agreement for the Protection of Appellations of Origin and their International Registration , and defines the name of origin as follows: The name of origin refers to the geographical name of a country, region or specific place, which is used to indicate products produced in that place. The specific quality or characteristics of these products are entirely or mainly due to the geographical name. Caused by the environment, including natural and man-made factors. ?
A designation of origin is a special geographical indication, which focuses more on emphasizing the uniqueness of the origin. This uniqueness often determines the specific quality of the origin product.
The name of origin has the following basic characteristics: 1. It is a geographical name; 2. It expresses the geographical origin of the goods or services; 3. It indicates the specific quality and characteristics of the goods. Such as: Korla pear, Jingdezhen porcelain, etc.
In fact, the geographical indications defined in the TRIPS Agreement are defined by reference to the appellations of origin under the Paris Convention.
Therefore, geographical indications and names of origin belong to the same concept. If you want to compare the definitions of names of origin and geographical indications, you can see the following situation. The definition of geographical indications is better than that of place of origin. The definition of the name should be broad. In other words, all appellations of origin are geographical indications, but some geographical indications are not appellations of origin.
The "Regulations on the Protection of Products from Regions of Origin" (July 30, 1999) formulated by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China has a series of protective regulations for geographical indications and names of origin. According to this regulation, the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China is the competent authority for the protection of products in regions of origin, responsible for organizing the review of applications for product protection in regions of origin, confirming the scope of protection areas, and registering product varieties, etc.
3. Origin certification mark
It is a type that incorporates geographical indications and names of origin into the certification mark system and is protected under the Trademark Law, that is, : One of the two categories of origin certification trademarks and quality certification trademarks. Registration of origin certification trademarks is an effective way to protect the name of origin. It can be the name of an administrative division at or above the county level. It does not violate the prohibition provisions of the Trademark Law. In theory It is believed that the name has a "secondary meaning" due to its use, that is, people associate not only a place but the specific commodities produced in that place, such as Fuling (mustard), Pixian (douban) wait. Certification trademarks of origin emphasize the specific (geographical and cultural) environment of the region and the essential impact of this environment on the quality characteristics of the goods. Therefore, the "Certification Trademark Registration Management Rules" provided when applying must be explained in detail, and they must also be emphasized during the review. place of investigation.
According to the provisions of the "Trademark Law", the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law" and the "Registration and Management Measures for Collective Marks and Certification Marks", from the definition of certification marks, the name of origin is a certification mark in my country category. Registration and protection of origin certification trademarks can effectively improve the visibility and competitiveness of products in domestic and international markets.
Only after registering a certification mark domestically can the name of origin be registered internationally in accordance with the international treaties that our country has joined (the Madrid Agreement on the International Registration of Marks and the Protocol Relevant to the Madrid Agreement), and can make full use of the relevant priority provisions. , obtaining international registration as early as possible will help trademark registrants use legal weapons to protect their rights and interests in domestic and international trade. According to international practice, when the name of origin conflicts with trademark rights, the "first to file" principle must be implemented. Therefore, our country now uses a relatively mature trademark registration and management system to protect origin certification trademarks, which can not only give full play to the current With system and personnel advantages, it can save the material and human resources of setting up a separate dedicated department, and can make full use of the complete registered trademark archive system to avoid conflicts between certificate of origin trademarks and previously registered trademark rights.
4. Geographical indications
Geographical indications must be designated as certification marks or collective marks to apply for registration in accordance with the "Collective Marks and Certification Marks Registration and Management Measures" (April 17, 2004 Registration and management shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the latest version of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of Japan.

From a certain perspective, special marks are special types. trademark.

(5) Applicable laws are different
China's "Special Signs Management Regulations" (announced by the State Council on July 13, 1996) are the basic administrative regulations for the management of special signs.
my country’s Trademark Law (the second revised edition on October 27, 2001) is the basic law governing trademarks.
If the owner of the special sign authorizes and signs a written license contract, the user of the special sign may use the licensed special sign and the user's registered trademark on the same goods or services.
