上海是我国近代商标立法、商标注册和商标管理工作的发源地。据有关商标史料介绍:1902年9月5日,我国与外国签订的第一个涉及商标注册与商标管理的通商条约,便在上海签订。20世纪二十年代初,上海工商界代表第一个向当时执政的北洋政府建议颁布《商标法》,成立商标局。民国时期,上海地区的商标注册数量一直位居全国第一。 Shanghai is the birthplace of China’s modern trademark legislation, trademark registration and trademark management. According to the historical materials on the introduction of the trademark: On September 5, 1902, the first treaty signed between China and foreign countries concerning trademark registration and trademark management was signed in Shanghai. In the early 1920s, Shanghai’s business representatives first proposed to the Beiyang government, which was then in power, the promulgation of the Trademark Law and the establishment of the Trademark Office. During the Republic of China, the number of trademark registrations in Shanghai ranked first in the country.
