1. What are the international classifications for trademark registration, Classes 1 to 45?
There are a total of 45 categories of trademark registration categories. Categories 1 to 34 belong to commodity trademarks, and categories 34 to 45 belong to service trademarks. Each major category in the category is divided into subcategories. , so with such professional content, only professional trademark consultants can immediately and accurately find out the category of the goods or services for which the trademark is being applied for.
Trademark category refers to the "Classification Table of Similar Goods or Services", which is an internationally accepted trademark classification book. That is to say, no matter which country you go to register For trademarks, you must refer to and select the trademark category according to the location of the product, and then register it. This table is also called "Based on the Nice Classification". The name comes from the fact that the earliest designated classification table was formulated in Nice, France.
Legal basis: my country's Trademark Law stipulates that a trademark approved and registered by the Trademark Office is a registered trademark, and the trademark registrant enjoys the exclusive right to use the trademark and is protected by law. Therefore, trademarks that have not been registered by the Trademark Office are always in a state of no rights protection and may be prohibited from use at any time due to the approved registration of the same or similar trademark by others.
The specific category of goods and services needs to be positioned separately. Another point is that the Nice Classification will increase or decrease or adjust the categories of certain goods and services every year, so please update the Nice Classification Table in time to find the registered category more accurately.
2. The value of an enterprise’s registered trademark
"A lot of money is easy to get, but a famous brand is hard to find." The production of a famous brand trademark requires a high cost. To create high-quality famous brands, enterprises need to invest a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to produce high-quality, low-price, and marketable products. They also need to spend a lot of money to advertise products and brands.Trademarks can make an enterprise quickly known to the society, promote the production and operation of the enterprise, and are of great significance to the long-term development of the enterprise. It is related to the development of enterprises and should be paid great attention by enterprises.
First of all, my country's Trademark Law stipulates that a trademark approved and registered by the Trademark Office is a registered trademark, and the trademark registrant enjoys the exclusive right to use the trademark and is protected by law. Therefore, trademarks that have not been registered by the Trademark Office are always in a state of no rights protection and may be prohibited from use at any time due to the approved registration of the same or similar trademark by others. Therefore, if business operators want to use a certain trademark stably and securely, it is best to register it. Registering a trademark is the prerequisite for obtaining the exclusive right to use a trademark, and only then can a registered trademark be protected by law.
Secondly, trademarks are intangible assets of enterprises and are also the basis for consumers to choose products or services. Good companies not only need good products and services, but also need good trademarks. Whether it is Coca-Cola or Haier, they are protected by law because they have registered trademarks. Even if Coca-Cola and Haier lose all their properties overnight, they can still rebuild quickly because of the huge intangible assets formed by their trademarks. The value of trademarks has far exceeded the value of their tangible assets. Registering a trademark can enhance a company's image and improve economic benefits. Trademarks are one of the company's greatest assets.
To sum up, there are two types of trademark registration in my country. One is a service trademark and the other is a commodity trademark.
