Other information : Taiwan trademark identification
The main function of a trademark is to identify the source of goods and services. If the label cannot distinguish the source, it is difficult to obtain registration. But generally speaking, your logo is mostly recognizable, so please rest assured. Trademark identification: It is divided into congenital and acquired. The former refers to the inherent nature of the trademark; the latter refers to the fact that the logo is not originally identifiable but is used in the market to enable consumers to know the source. For example, “drink more water” was originally just a description of mineral spring water. After long-term use, the source can be identified by consumers and acquired recognition. Innate identification includes originality, arbitrariness and suggestion.
Approved case: “APPLE” is used in 3C products; “GOOGLE” is used in search engines. Not recognizable: It may be because it is descriptive, universal, or only composed of digital models. Rejection case: The trademark “first-rate” that simply describes the quality which is not identifiable; the trademark “clean” that describes the services of the home cleaning company is not identifiable; and the “car” is used for car repair or car rental services.
