People's life is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation. With regard to food, three meals a day are inevitable. Some people regard cooking as a hobby, but few people regard washing dishes as a hobby. At this time, scientific and technological electrical appliances are needed to assist. Dishwasher is a device that can automatically clean dishes such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives and forks. So how to choose the category of dishwasher trademark?
According to the query in Bajie Intellectual Property Trademark Encyclopedia, the trademark of dishwasher belongs to category 7 -723- kitchen household appliances (excluding cooking, electric heating equipment and kitchen hand tools)-dishwasher 7231; Industrial dishwasher 723, domestic dishwasher 723. Dishwashers can also be divided into domestic and commercial categories.
As we all know, before registering a trademark, we must make a trademark inquiry to find out whether the trademark is similar among the registered trademarks. If there is no similar trademark, the registered trademark is safe for the time being and can continue to be registered. Assuming that there is an approximate existence, how should enterprises deal with it?
the first thing to say is to change the category registration. Because when registering a trademark, the category will be selected, and whether the trademark is similar will be judged according to the category during the examination. If the prior trademark is registered in other categories, it is not the same as or similar to the trademark to be registered, and there is no interest, etc., plus the corresponding categories and industries are different, it can be registered and the chances of passing it will be great.
or by adding or subtracting trademark names, if there is a prior trademark in the same or similar category, and the applicant is unwilling to change the category for registration, the trademark name can be slightly modified, that is, the two trademarks can be distinguished by adding or subtracting the trademark names, so that the probability of successful registration also exists.
if the above two trademarks are not suitable, then another way is to obtain the trademark through trademark transfer. If you don't want to take the risk of registering the same or similar trademark, but you really want the trademark, trademark transfer is definitely the first choice. Find a prior obligee to negotiate and buy a trademark that you have already chosen. Before buying, you need to pay attention to the status of the trademark to see if it is in the period of validity.
of course, invalid trademarks are also a way. Assuming that the trademark transfer is not successful, the enterprise can file a trademark revocation, and the registered trademark can be revoked by the fact that the trademark has not been used for three years. When the trademark revocation is successful, it will apply for trademark registration in time. If the other party fails to make changes in time because of the change of address or other information, it can also raise objections.
because there are really too many similar trademarks in reality, the risk of trademark registration is very high. Enterprises may be able to own trademarks as soon as possible by choosing other methods, and there is no need to entangle the problem of modifying related trademarks after approximation.
