These explanations provide general information and do not replace an assessment of individual circumstances.
Short questions
Which distinction matters?
The exact sign and goods or services matter. A word appearing in a logo does not mean every possible version has the same scope. Used versions and existing records should be clearly identified.
What can I share for an initial assessment?
The name or image, goods and services, target countries and existing application or registration details can help. For online use, include the page address and observation date.
Does this guidance establish the same outcome in every case?
No. This page explains general concepts. Documents, the countries involved and the sequence of events can change the assessment. A particular procedure or outcome requires consideration of the individual circumstances.
