The Nice Agreement Concerning the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks, referred to as the Nice Agreement, was signed in Nice, France on June 15, 1957, and came into force on April 8, 1961. my country began to use the International Classification of Goods for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks in November 1988, and after the implementation of the Trademark Law Amendment on July 1, 1993, it also began to use the International Classification of Services. The Nice Agreement mainly stipulates the classification of goods and services, which divides goods into 34 categories and services into 11 categories. This classification provides great convenience for trademark retrieval and trademark management.
my country joined the Geneva Act of the Agreement on May 5, 1994, and the Agreement came into force in my country on August 9, 1994.
