(1) Select a product name with a relatively large scope.

For example, "hair clips" in the 2601 group in the 26 categories. In this group, there are other product names about hair clips: hair clips (hair clips), curling clips, strips Shaped hairpins (hairpins), these are collectively called hairpins, so the first thing we choose is hairpins. After selecting a relatively large range of product items, we then select a smaller range of product items based on our main business products. , so as to achieve the maximum protection effect with the minimum cost. Other examples include 1101. Similar groups include lamps, arc lamps, incandescent lamps, portable searchlights, and safety lamps. You can just choose a lamp. Arc lamps, incandescent lamps, portable searchlights, and safety lamps are just one type of lamp.

(2) If there is no exact name of a small product item in the "Classification Table of Similar Goods and Services", we can choose a product item with similar functions to the products we operate. , or choose the main components of the product items you operate, so as to protect the trademark rights of the products.

(3) Select cross-search or similar goods or services in other categories.

Generally speaking, the trademarks or services in a similar group are similar. However, some goods or services are similar across categories. If you choose the goods or services, the protection The scope covers cross-retrieval or similar goods or services. This selection method can maximize the scope of trademark protection without increasing registration costs, and may have the effect of cross-category protection. For example: when a lighting equipment manufacturing company registers a trademark, it should select "Lamps (110040), lighting equipment and devices (110130)" in the 1101 similar group. These two products are all the same as those in the second part of 1101 and the 1103 similar group. The products are similar, that is, if you select "Lamps (110040), lighting equipment and devices (110130)", the protection scope of this trademark covers "lighting equipment for air vehicles, lamps for vehicles, automobile anti-glare devices (light accessories)" ), automobile headlights, bicycle lamps, light bulbs for vehicle turn signal devices, bicycle lamps, anti-glare devices (light fittings) for vehicles, lamps for automobile turn indicators, automobile lamps" and "acetylene lamps, for lighting Lantern, oil lamp holder, kerosene lampshade, gas lamp, oil lamp." If the fee for each registered product item is 80 yuan, the company only spent 160 yuan in fee, which has the effect of registering 19 product items.

(4) In order to expand the scope of trademark registration protection, in addition to registering the company's own main products, it can also register in advance in related categories.

In order to save costs, you can choose a small product item in each group (for example: 26 categories. The total 26 categories are divided into 10 small groups, and in each group If you choose a product to register in the group, you will have 10 product items. This selection will protect the entire 26 categories. If a third party wants to register the same or similar trademark in category 26, it will not be registered. . If the products produced by the company are not registered in the future, they can supplement the registration without worrying about unsuccessful trademark registration or third party infringement.

(5) In order to To protect your trademark rights more comprehensively, you should consider registering a trademark in a category similar to the company's main products or in different categories in the same industry.

① Apply for a trademark in a category similar to the company's main products. . For example: Category 32 and Category 33 are both alcoholic beverages. Category 32 is alcoholic beverages. If you simply register the product in Category 33, it will most likely be registered in Category 32. There is a trademark that is the same as a registered trademark in Class 33. This will be a big loss for the company, because it is very difficult to cancel the trademark through trademark disputes or trademark objections in different categories. , product items like this are similar, and it is easy for consumers to confuse the source of the product.

② Register trademarks in different categories in the same industry. The home appliance industry is a relatively large industry in my country. 1. According to the types of home appliances, they are divided into different categories in the "Classification Table of Similar Goods and Services".

For example: electric water heaters, freezers, etc. are in Category 11, washing machines are in Category 7, CD players, and TV cameras are in Category 9. Registering trademarks in different categories in the same industry is a means of comprehensive trademark protection.
