For example, how do we choose the trademark registration in the clothing category? 2501 Clothing, this is a similar group. When selecting a small item, select one of the items below it, such as: shirt, 250042; select This registration can protect the entire 2501 group, because after you register successfully, others cannot register the same name in other sub-items of this group.

As long as you register a small item for each similar group, it can be fully protected. An extra item will be charged an additional fee of RMB 100. In addition, if a trademark applicant applies to register the same trademark on different categories of goods, he should submit a registration application in accordance with the commodity classification table, and needs to pay an additional application fee of 1,000 yuan.
