In the novelty examination, the concepts of "similar goods" and "similar trademarks" not only affect a series of activities such as examination, objection, rejection review and dispute in the trademark registration procedure, but also are the key concepts to judge whether the trademark is infringed.

It can be said that, in a certain sense, trademark registration and management basically solve the exact judgment of these two concepts. Whether the judgment is correct or not will directly affect the trademark authorization and the correct handling of trademark cases. Similar goods refer to products that have some similarities in production technology, main raw materials, or functional uses and sales. Consumers will think that they are probably the same source, and these goods are called similar goods. Such as ink and ink; Towel, towel quilt and pillow towel, etc. The two commodities in each group are similar to each other.

2. Whether the raw materials and quality are consistent;

3. Whether the sales departments are consistent;

4. Whether the purposes are consistent.
