How to choose the category of tea trademark?
When choosing a trademark category for tea, it is first necessary to clarify which trademark category the tea belongs to. According to the International Trademark Classification, tea falls under Class 30. In this category, unprocessed forest products, unprocessed grains, feed, starch, flour, rice, coffee, cocoa, sugar, confectionery, chewing gum, tea, tea drinks, etc. are mainly included. Therefore, tea, as a type of tea beverage, should choose the subcategory of "tea, tea drinks" in Class 30.
After determining the class to which the tea trademark belongs, the next thing to consider is the specific goods or services for which the trademark is registered. According to the trademark registration regulations, the name and description of the goods or services must be specific and not too broad or abstract. Therefore, when selecting specific goods or services for tea trademark registration, it is necessary to describe the type of tea, the production method, the brand image, etc. in as much detail as possible, so as to obtain more accurate protection.
When choosing a specific item of goods or services, you can consider the following:
1.Types of tea: green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, dark tea, etc.;
2.Production method: Harvested from a specific region, through a specific processing technology, etc.;
3.Brand image: the cultural connotation, historical background, packaging design of the brand, etc.
In addition to selecting specific goods or services, it is also necessary to consider the distinctiveness of the trademark. The distinctiveness of a trademark refers to whether the trademark is distinctive, recognizable, and capable of associating it with a specific good or service. When choosing a tea trademark, you can consider using a distinctive pattern, font or slogan associated with tea to enhance the distinctiveness of the trademark.
To sum up, when choosing a tea trademark class, you should choose the sub-category of "tea, tea beverages" in Class 30, and describe the type, production method, brand image, etc. of tea in as much detail as possible, so as to improve the distinctiveness and scope of protection of the trademark. At the same time, the uniqueness and recognition of the trademark need to be considered in order for consumers to better recognize and remember the brand.
