If you need to apply your trademark on the Internet, you need to make an online trademark
Online trademark refers to the application of corporate entity trademarks on the Internet. It is the National Internet Information Center, combined with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology , Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and other authoritative agencies have registered and reviewed corporate Internet logos, including Chinese domain names, "Chinese.Website", "Chinese.Trademark", etc.
According to the relevant provisions of the "Trademark Law" and "China Internet Domain Name Management Measures", we believe that:
1. Trademarks are signs that distinguish the source of goods or services and are intellectual property rights. scope, and there are clear legal provisions on its use and registration. The Trademark Law is the most basic law regarding trademarks, and there is no concept of “electronic trademarks” in it. Therefore, "electronic trademark" is not a legal term and has no connection with the "trademark" stipulated in the Trademark Law.
2. Article 2 of the "Trademark Law" stipulates: "The Trademark Office of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Department of the State Council is responsible for the registration and management of trademarks nationwide." Article 3 (7) of the "China Internet Domain Name Management Measures" The provisions of this article: "Domain name registration service agency: refers to the service agency that accepts and reviews domain name registration applications and completes the registration of domain names in the domain name database." Therefore, our office is the only trademark registration agency stipulated by law; domain name registration service agencies are responsible for providing services to the society. Institutions that provide domain name registration services do not have the function of accepting and reviewing registration applications for "electronic trademarks".
3. Some domain name registration service institutions coin and use the term "electronic trademark" and misinterpret the "Trademark Law" The solicitation of business according to the relevant provisions of the "China Internet Domain Name Management Measures" will not be beneficial to my country's domain name registration work. It will only interfere with the implementation of the "Trademark Law" and mislead enterprises and consumers.
