Contingency Table Testing Within Rows

[Jim Moffitt]

I have a 5 X 5 contingency table that depicts the percentage of
respondents (based to column totals) that prefer each of 5 brands. The 5
brands are the row labels. The column labels are different survey dates
so Column 1 is Fall 2007, Column 2 is Fall 2006, Column 3 is Fall 2005,
etc. Thus, cell 1 (matrix element 11) contains the proportion of Fall
2007 respondents that preferred Brand A, the next cell to the right
(matrix element 12) contains the proportion of Fall 2006 respondents
that prefer Brand A, the next cell to the right (matrix element 13)
contains the proportion of Fall 2005 respondents that prefer Brand A,
etc.
 
Each survey was administered to a different random sample, so the column
samples are independent of each other.
 
What significance test would I apply to identify significant differences
within the rows while controlling for family-wise probability issues? In
other words, I'm looking for a test that will test within the row
vectors so I can say matrix element 11 is significantly different from
14 and 15, matrix element 14 is significantly different from 13 and 15,
matrix element 22 is significantly different from 24 , matrix element 34
is significantly different from 31, 33, and 35, etc.
 
How would I run such a test in SPSS 14.0?
 
Do I need a specific SPSS module like Advances Tests to run the required
test?
 
Thanks for your help.

How was this table produced? Is a case a respondent from a particular survey
specifying a particular brand preference? That is, do the row percentages
add to 100%

If so, perhaps a column proportion test (requires putting the brands on top
and the dates on the side) might give you what you want. This is available
from CTABLES.

For each row cell it displays significantly different column cells. Go to
Help and select Tables Option>Test Statistics>Comparing Column Proportions
for a discussion.

Yes, the row perrcentages sum to 100% so I'll check out your suggestion.

Trademark
General Situation
 A trademark (including Service Mark) is a sign that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods or services of one party from those of others. In market economy, trademarks play a significant role in guiding market business, boosting national economy and protecting consumers’ rights and interests.

The owner of a trademark shall apply to the Trademark Office for registration if he wants the trademark used in business to be fully protected by law. Once a trademark is approved and registered, the trademark registrant is entitled to the exclusive rights to use the trademark, which includes: 1. Right to use the trademark; 2. Exclusive right; 3. Right to license; 4. Restraining Power; 5. Right of mortgage; 6. Right to invest; 7. Right of assignment; 8. Heirdom.

And we would like to draw your attention that, according to current different trademark protection systems of China as well as Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, the exclusive protection right of a registered trademark in any one of them DOES NOT cover its exclusive protection right in another. Therefore, for instance, filing a trademark application in China does NOT actually cover the scope of its exclusive protection right in such business booming regions as Hong Kong, Taiwan or Macau. In order to get comprehensive protection of your trademarks in China, we strongly suggest that your client register your trademarks respectively in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Basic requirements for filing a trade mark application in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau
1. Power of attorney signed by the applicant, if filing in Macau, a notarized power of attorney is required. Welcome to download the corresponding POA via our website www.sndre.com

2. An instruction letter indicating the applicant’s detail, i.e. its nationality, name, and address;

3. Wording or representation of the planned trademark application. In case of design or combined design and word mark applications we need a specimen of the mark to prepare the prints in accordance with the requirements of Trademark Office of China. If colours are to be claimed, we need a coloured sample;

4. List of Goods or Services to be protected;

5. If the applicant is one corporation, an electronic copy of the Commercial Register, or the certificate of incorporation, or other Business License of the corporation is needed. For a natural person, the electronic copy of his/her passport is available and enough;

6. A certified copy of the corresponding foreign application in case priority is to be claimed.
 Note:
About Priority: according to Trademark Law of People’s Republic of China, there are two types of priority to be claimed:
1. Where a trademark is first used for goods in an international exhibition on sponsored or recognized by Chinese Government, the applicant for the registration of the trademark may enjoy the right of priority within six months from the date of exhibition of the goods.  




2. Any applicant for the registration of a trademark who files an application for registration of the same trademark for identica1 goods in China within six months from the date of filing the first application for the trademark registration overseas may enjoy the right of priority in accordance with any agreement concluded between the People's Republic of China and the country to which the applicant belongs, or according to the international treaty to which both countries are parties, or on the basis of the principle whereby each acknowledges the right of priority of the other.

Charges of applying for trademark registration in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau
Generally, it takes three stages for a application mature to registration: Stage 1, Application; Stage 2, Examination and Publication; Stage 3, Acceptance and Registration. Because there is just 10 years for the newly registered mark, in order to maintain the protection of the registered mark, the registration should be renewed every 10 years.
About trademark search:
A trade mark registration is infringed by unauthorized use of the same or similar trademark, either on the goods covered by the registration or on similar goods if there is likely to be confusion. Moreover, a registered trade mark which has become well known in China will be infringed by the use of the same or similar mark on totally dissimilar goods where the later use, being without due case, takes unfair advantages of or is detrimental to the distinctive character or the repute of the well known registered trademark. Therefore, once a trade mark has been chosen, it is very important to conduct clearance searches to see if the trade mark is free for use. We can readily conduct searches of the Trade Marks Register.

Now we can offer two main types of searches:
 1.  We can conduct a basic search covering identical and very similar marks found on the Chinese Trade Marks Register for free. This includes Chinese Trademark applications and registrations, as well as international application /registration designating China.
2.  Alternatively, we can conduct a full clearance search which is a much more extensive search covering identical and similar marks on the Chinese Register, plus limited searches for potentially conflicting unregistered rights. The cost of this type of search is subject to the complexity of the mark (class/classes, products or service covered, word mark or device mark, etc.) and your specific requirements (time requirements, etc.).

Patent
Please take note that patent is also protected regionally. For example, a patent registration in mainland China does NOT actually cover the protection of its exclusive right in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. In order to get comprehensive protection of your patents in China, you should register your patent respectively in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
