The relevant principles of trademark registration in my country are: (1) The principle of combining voluntary registration with compulsory registration. The so-called voluntary registration principle means that the trademark owner decides whether to apply for trademark registration based on his or her own needs and wishes. Trademarks that have been applied for and approved for registration by the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce are registered trademarks. The registrant has exclusive rights to the registered trademark and is protected by law; unregistered trademarks can also be used, but the user does not enjoy the exclusive rights to the trademark and must not conflict with other people's trademarks. The so-called compulsory registration principle refers to the state’s mandatory requirement that all trademarks used by producers and operators on certain goods or services must be registered in accordance with the law before they can be used. Article 6 of the "Trademark Law" stipulates: "For goods that are required to use a registered trademark by the state, they must apply for trademark registration. If the registration is not approved, they may not be sold in the market." At present, the only trademarks that are compulsorily registered in my country are: human medicines (Western medicines, injections and Chinese patent medicines) and tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars and packaged shredded tobacco). See: "Notice on Announcement of Products Must Use Registered Trademarks" issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce on January 4, 1988. (2) Registration principle The so-called registration principle means that the trademark owner must obtain approval and registration of his trademark in order to obtain confirmation of the exclusive right to the trademark. Article 3 of my country's Trademark Law stipulates: A trademark approved and registered by the Trademark Office is a registered trademark, and the owner of the trademark enjoys the exclusive right to use the trademark and is protected by law. ? (3) The principle of unified national registration means that my country’s trademark registration must be uniformly reviewed and approved for registration by the national trademark authority. Article 2 of the Trademark Law clearly stipulates that the Trademark Office of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Department of the State Council is responsible for the national trademark registration and management. (4) The principle of first to apply (also known as the principle of first to register). The so-called first to apply principle means that when two or more applicants apply for registration of the same or similar trademark on the same or similar goods, The trademark and applicant applying for registration first will obtain the exclusive right to use the trademark, and subsequent trademark registration applications will be rejected. Article 29 of my country’s Trademark Law stipulates: If two or more applicants apply for registration of the same or similar trademark on the same goods or similar goods, the first application shall be preliminarily reviewed and announced. If the application is made on the same day, the previously used trademark will be initially reviewed and announced, and other applications will be rejected and will not be announced. ? (5) The principle of first-to-use refers to the principle that the earliest user obtains trademark registration when it is impossible to confirm that the application (registration) was first. Article 29 of the Trademark Law stipulates that if two or more applicants for trademark registration apply for registration of the same or similar trademarks on the same goods or similar goods, if they apply on the same day, the preliminary application shall be The previously used trademark shall be reviewed and announced, and applications from others shall be rejected and no announcement shall be made. ?The so-called first-to-use principle here often plays an important decisive role when encountering conflicts with other intellectual property rights similar to trademark rights (such as patent rights and copyrights). See: "About Handling Trademark Exclusive Use" Opinions on the conflict between design patent rights and design patent rights" (State Administration for Industry and Commerce, December 7, 1995).
