6.1 What is the meaning of trademark division?
If there is any doubt about the registrability of part of the classes of the goods/services or part of the goods/services designated for the trademark application, or if some of the goods/services have been assigned, an application for division of the original application may be filed.
After a trademark has been registered, division of the trademark rights may be made because of any license, pledge creation, assignment or dispute case, so as to ensure the rights to each single trademark and the scope of use thereof, or to maintain the trademark rights that are not in conflict with others. (§31Ⅲ;§38Ⅲ, Trademark Act)
