Q&A for Trademarks
Can different people file applications for registration of an identical trademark for different goods or services?

A: Yes. Most countries recognize that where goods or services applying an identical trademark or similar trademarks are unlikely to cause confusion in the market and will not cause unfair competition, they may be registered or used by different people or business entities. In general, if the use of trademarks that are not well-known or are not of high originality for dissimilar goods by different manufacturers, they are unlikely to confuse consumers about the source of goods, thus may be filed separately.
