Generally speaking, "Chinese famous brand products" must have trademarks with high market visibility. Similarly, the carrier of well-known trademarks; the product must be Excellent quality and competitive advantage.
However, there are obvious differences between Chinese famous brand products and well-known trademarks in many aspects:
1. The legal basis and implementation departments of the two are different. The recognition of well-known trademarks in China is based on the "Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Trademark Law Implementation Rules" formulated in accordance with this law and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce Order No. 5 "Regulations on the Recognition and Protection of Well-known Trademarks". The well-known trademarks of enterprises must Apply to the Trademark Office of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Department of the State Council, and then it will be recognized as a well-known trademark and enjoy all the rights of the well-known trademark. The evaluation of China's famous brand products is based on the "Product Quality Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Quality Promotion Outline" formulated by the State Council and the "Management Measures for China's Famous Brand Products" Order No. 12 of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. The China Famous Brand Strategy is authorized by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Promote the committee to uniformly organize and implement the evaluation work of China's famous brand products.
2. The two have different connotations. Well-known trademarks refer to trademarks that are widely known to the relevant public in China and enjoy a high reputation. Chinese famous brand products refer to products whose physical quality has reached the advanced level of similar international products, is in a leading position among similar domestic products, has market share and popularity at the forefront of the industry, has high user satisfaction, and has strong market competitiveness. It can be seen from this that the connotation of a well-known trademark is a trademark, while the connotation of a famous brand product is a specific product.
3. The objects of the two are different. The recognition objects of well-known trademarks include both the registered trademarks of domestic enterprises and the trademarks registered by foreign enterprises in China, while the evaluation of famous brand productsThe price is limited to products of Chinese companies, and applications for products using foreign (overseas) trademarks will not be accepted.
4. The evaluation mechanisms of the two are different. According to the newly issued "Measures for the Recognition and Review of Well-known Trademarks" issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, well-known trademarks will transform from an honor for enterprises into a means of legal protection and will no longer be subject to batch evaluation and recognition organized by the state. The introduction of this new regulation means that the history of batch assessment of well-known trademarks has become a thing of the past. The "Measures for the Administration of Chinese Famous Brand Products" stipulates that the evaluation of Chinese famous brand products shall be conducted once a year, and the China Famous Brand Strategy Promotion Committee shall publish a product catalog for the evaluation of Chinese famous brand products every year. Applications for products that are not in the evaluation catalog for that year will not be accepted.
5. The identification conditions of the two are different. The components of a well-known trademark are: relevant materials about the trademark’s registration history and scope of use; relevant materials about the trademark’s publicity and promotional activities, geographical scope, types of publicity media, and the amount of advertising; the trademark’s popularity in China or Past record materials of being protected as a well-known trademark in other countries or regions; relevant materials such as the output, sales volume, sales revenue, profits and taxes, and sales area range of the goods using the trademark in the past three years. The evaluation of China's famous brand products focuses on: physical quality level; market share, export exchange rate, brand awareness, annual sales, realized profits and taxes, industrial cost and expense profit rate, total asset contribution rate; the company's production technical conditions and technical equipment , technological innovation, product development capabilities; the standard level of product implementation; the company's measurement and testing system, measurement assurance capabilities, quality management system; the company's after-sales service system and customer satisfaction and other indicators must be at the forefront of the entire industry.
6. The consequences of the two identifications are different. After a well-known trademark is confirmed, it can receive greater protection than an ordinary trademark. Recognition of a well-known trademark is a legal protection method for resolving trademark infringement disputes. It adopts the principles of "case-by-case identification" and passive protection. If a product that has obtained a well-known trademark encounters an infringement dispute, the well-known trademark can be submitted to the Trademark Office for arbitration as a protected record. According to the provisions of the "Measures for the Recognition and Review of Well-known Trademarks", apart from infringement disputes, well-known trademarks have no meaning to the enterprise. The evaluation of China's famous brand products is mainly to grant an honor to enterprises and is part of the national reward mechanism
