Article 20 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Tobacco Monopoly Law (199 1) stipulates: "Cigarettes, cigars and packaged cut tobacco must apply for trademark registration, and they may not be produced or sold without approval." Therefore, tobacco products are still commodities that must be sold in the market with registered trademarks.

1984 Article 4 1 of the Drug Administration Law once stipulated: "Except Chinese herbal medicines and Chinese herbal pieces, drugs must use registered trademarks; Without approval and registration, it may not be sold in the market. Registered trademarks must be marked on the packaging and labels of drugs. " 200 1 Amend the Drug Administration Law and cancel the above provisions. Therefore, drugs for human use are no longer used as commodities that must use registered trademarks.

Article 6 of the newly revised Trademark Law stipulates: "Goods that must use registered trademarks according to state regulations must apply for trademark registration, and those that have not been approved for registration may not be sold in the market." Different from the original Trademark Law, the Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law does not clearly stipulate which goods must use registered trademarks, but only stipulates in Article 4: The goods that the state stipulates must use registered trademarks refer to the goods that must use registered trademarks according to laws and administrative regulations.
