I don't know if Gujiake has registered a trademark, (there is a TM or R mark indicating that it is under review or has been registered).

China's trademark law stipulates that in addition to registered trademarks for human drugs, tobacco products and veterinary drugs, other goods can use both registered trademarks and unregistered trademarks. The legal status of an unregistered trademark is different from that of a registered trademark, which is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First, the owner of a registered trademark can exclude others from registering identical or similar trademarks on the same or similar goods; However, the user of an unregistered trademark has no right to exclud others from registering identical or similar trademarks on the same or similar goods, and if they do not apply for registration, they may be preemptively registered by others and prohibited from continuing to use the trademark.

Secondly, the owner of a registered trademark enjoys the exclusive right to use the trademark, and when the registered trademark is counterfeited by others and constitutes trademark infringement, the trademark owner may request the illegal user to bear legal liability. However, the use of an unregistered trademark by an unregistered trademark user is only a fact, not a right, and it has no right to prohibit others from using it, and the prior user has no right to invoke the Trademark Law to claim legal protection against a third party.

Thirdly, it is the right of the trademark owner to use the approved trademark on the goods approved for use, and the exercise of these rights by the trademark owner does not involve the exclusive right to use the trademark of others. However, once the use of an unregistered trademark is confused with the registered trademark of others, it is easy to constitute trademark infringement and should bear the corresponding legal liability.

There is a sofa factory called Gujia Craft. It is best to go to the industrial and commercial department to check, or log on to the website of the Technical Supervision Bureau to check the registered sofa trademark.

First of all, it is necessary to see whether the word Gujia has been registered, if it is registered generally, it depends on the opinion of the owner of the trademark, and if you do not pursue it, as long as you can get a business license in the local industrial and commercial bureau, you can use it, if you want to hold you responsible, no matter what, you are unreasonable.

So please inquire first to avoid trouble later.
