新喀里多尼亚,一个陌生的词汇。很多人不知道这是一个地区的名字,知道的也很少能说出位于地球的哪个角落,但最近却频繁出现在笔者的视野中,因为多个客户咨询是否可以在该地区申请商标注册。据查,新喀里多尼亚位于南回归线附近,是法国在大洋洲西南部的一个海外领地。面积18575平方公里,人口约24万,两大经济支柱为镍矿开采业和旅游业。经核实,该地区目前没有独立的商标注册制度,申请人在法国注册商标后即可自动延伸保护至该地区。
New Caledonia, a strange word. Many people do not know that this is the name of a region. They rarely know where they are located on the earth but have recently appeared in the author’s field of vision frequently because multiple clients are consulted about whether they can apply for trademark registration in the region. It is reported that New Caledonia is located near the Tropic of Capitel and is an overseas territory of France in southwestern Oceania. An area of 18,575 square kilometers, a population of about 240,000, the two major economic pillars for the nickel mining industry and tourism. It has been verified that there is currently no independent trademark registration system in the region and that applicants will be automatically extended to protect the area after they have registered their trademarks in France.
