I. How to choose the category of registered trademark
When an enterprise or individual applies for a registered trademark, it should choose the category of goods or services it is using or will use in the future for registration. How to choose a registered trademark category? We have summarized several tips for choosing trademark registration categories:
1. Choose a wide range of commodity item names
For example, the "hairpins" in Group 261 in category 26, and there are other commodity item names about hairpins in this group: hair clips (hairpins), curly hair clips, and strip-shaped hairpins (hairpins), which are all collectively called hairpins, so our first choice is hairpins.
2. Choose commodity items with similar functions to the products we operate, or choose the main components of the products we operate.
If there is no exact small commodity item name in the List of Similar Goods and Services, we can choose commodity items with similar functions to the products we operate, or choose the main components of the products we operate, so as to protect the trademark rights of products.
3. Choose goods or services that are cross-searched or similar to other categories
Generally speaking, trademarks or services in a similar group are similar, but some goods or services have cross-category similarity. If you choose this goods or services, the scope of protection will extend to goods or services that are cross-searched or similar to them. This selection method can maximize the scope of trademark protection without increasing the registration cost, and can play a cross-category protection effect.
4. Register in relevant categories in advance
In order to expand the scope of trademark registration protection, in addition to registering the products that the enterprise is mainly engaged in, it can also register in relevant categories in advance. In order to save costs, you can choose a small commodity item in each group, for example, 26 categories. The 26 categories are divided into 1 small groups. If you choose a commodity to register in each group, there are just 1 commodity items. If you choose this way, you will protect the whole 26 categories. If a third person wants to register the same or similar trademarks in the 26th category, it will not be registered.
5. register a trademark in a category similar to the main product of the enterprise or in a different category of the same industry
(1) apply for a trademark in a category similar to the main product of the enterprise.
For example, Class 32 and Class 33 are both wines. 32 categories are non-alcoholic beverages and 33 categories are alcoholic beverages. If we simply register Class 33, once the product enters the market, it is likely that the same trademark as Class 33 will appear in Class 32.
(2) registered trademarks in different categories of the same industry.
For example, the household appliance industry is classified into different categories according to the types of household appliances in the Similar Goods and Services Classification Table. For example, electric water heaters and freezers are in the 11th category, washing machines are in the 7th category, and CD players and TV cameras are in the 9th category. Registering trademarks in different categories of the same industry is a means of comprehensive trademark protection.
