上海连尚网络科技有限公司（以下简称“异议人”）委托上海百一知识产权代理有限公司对第29848377号“MASTERKEYS”商标（以下简称“被异议商标”）提出异议申请。

Shanghai Linksure Network (here after referred to as "the Opponent")entrusted Foridom IP Law Firm to file an opposition application against the No. 29848377 "MASTERKEYS" trademark (here in after referred to as "the Opponent trademark").

被异议商标：第29848377号

The Opponent trademark: No. 29848377

引证商标1：第16974710号

No.1 Cited trademark: No.16974710 

引证商标2：第16354460号

No.2 Cited trademark: No.16354460

异议策略及理由：

一、被异议商标与引证商标1构成近似

被异议商标的服务为“动物园服务”，与引证商标1的服务项目中的“动物训练”同属4106类似群，属于《商标审查标准》中所称的“指定使用的商品或者服务是否属于同一种或者类似商品或者服务”的情形。

引证商标1为外文商标，由2个相对独立的部分“WiFi”和“MasterKey”组成，其中“WiFi”为通用词汇，显著性弱，因此核心显著部分为“MasterKey”。被异议商标由引证商标1的显著部分字母全部大写“MASTERKEY”加“S”组成。根据相关规定，两商标或者其中之一由两个或者两个以上相对独立的部分构成，其中显著部分近似，易使相关公众对商品或者服务的来源产生混淆的，判定为近似商标。

Objection strategy and reasons:

1.The opposed trademark is similar to the No.1 cited trademark

The service of the opposed trademark is "zoo service", which belongs to the 4106 similar group as the "animal training" in the service item of the No.cited trademark.  Therefore, it has caused similarity as stated in the trademark examination standards that they are "the specified goods or services of the same kind".

The No.1 cited trademark is originated from a foreign-language, which consists of tworelatively independent parts "WiFi" and "MasterKey". Amongthem, "WiFi" is a common word with a low distinctiveness, so the core prominent part is "MasterKey". The opposed trademark consists of all the capital letters "MASTERKEY" plus "S" in the prominent part of the No.1 cited trademark.

According to the relevant regulations, two trademarks or one of them are composed of two or more relatively independent parts, and if the significant parts are similar,which may confuse the relevant public with regard to the source of the goods or services, they shall be determined as similar trademarks.

二、引证商标2经过异议人的使用、宣传，已达到了较高的知名度

被异议商标仅在引证商标2单词后增加了“S”，为引证商标2的复数形式，实难为巧合，可见其恶意明显，系以不正当手段抢先注册异议人已经使用并有一定影响商标的情形。根据《商标法》第7条、第32条、并类推适用第44条的规定，被异议商标不应予以核准注册。且异议人引证商标标样所应用的商品及服务的客户受众为一般大众，具有广谱性，而被异议商标的客户受众亦为一般大众，二者的客户受众是相同的，故被异议商标和引证商标2共同存在时，易使相关公众对服务来源产生混淆，进而损害引证商标2的在先权利。

2. The No.2 cited trademark has reached well-known standard after being used and publicized by the opponent

The opposed trademark only adds "S" after the word of the No.2 cited trademark, which is the plural form of the No.2 cited trademark. It is hard to be a coincidence. As it can be seen as bad faith, namely, the trademark registration was acquired by illicit means. According to Articles 7 and 32 of the "Trademark Law" and the application of Article 44 by analogy, the opposed trademark shall not be approved for registration.

Moreover, the customer of the goods and services to which the trademark standard sample is cited by the opponent is the general public. The target customer of the two companies are the same, so when the opposed trademark coexists with the No.2 cited trademark, it is easy to confuse with the relevant public concerning the source of the service, thereby it has damaging the prior rights of the No.2 cited trademark.

决定：对第29848377号“MASTERKEYS”商标不予注册

Decision: No. 29848377 shall not be registered
