Fa Xiaotiancheng works in an intellectual property company. To put it bluntly, he registers trademarks for others. His income of more than 20,000 yuan a month makes our friends envious. However, he recently left his job inexplicably. In our turn After questioning, he told the truth:
“This industry is too dark, and I can’t bear the condemnation of my conscience before I leave my job.”
First of all, it makes customers spend money in vain. Some trademarks I know very well that because the trademark name is illegal, or the trademark name is duplicated or infringed, it is impossible to register it, but I still call the customer to register, and I have spent hundreds or even thousands of money in vain.
The second point is even more abhorrent. They set up a series of traps for customers. After registering a trademark, they will not stop until they defraud the customer of tens of thousands of dollars.
First of all, I called the customer and said that it can be registered for a few hundred yuan. When the customer thought, it is not expensive to get a trademark for a few hundred yuan, so he registered it.
After the customer pays the money, and other customers are also registering the trademark, they will have to spend two to three thousand in a hurry, otherwise the money will be wasted. Then the customer thought, money has been spent anyway, this trademark is indeed needed, so hurry up.
Then the trademark was registered without expediting it, because it took about half a month after the trademark was registered to be published on the official website of the Trademark Office. They took advantage of this information gap and told customers: your trademark It was rejected and failed. How about trying to get acquainted with people from the Trademark Office? It will cost you 20,000 yuan no matter what.
At this point, of course the client stopped working. You asked me to work for a trademark from a few hundred to tens of thousands. It was obviously a trick on me, so of course I was not happy. First I scolded the salesperson, and then I checked it on the official website of the Trademark Office. I really couldn’t find it, but I was still very suspicious.
At this time, they took the initiative because an intellectual property company owner would often register several companies. Find business from another company and take the initiative to call the customer: Hello boss XX, we found out that you just failed to register a trademark. Do you want to register it with us? We will directly use internal relations to cover the 30,000 yuan.
At this time, the customer basically believed it: the trademark was indeed not approved. Then he thought about it and decided to continue spending money with the original company. After all, they said that they could get through it by spending another 20,000 yuan through internal relations. . Just consider yourself unlucky.
Then the customer obediently paid another 20,000 yuan.
The cost of registering such a trademark is a few hundred, and the profit is 23,000. Their commission is 30% of the profit, so it is quite easy to get a commission of about 20,000 in one month. Those who have poor mental endurance always have an uneasy conscience. So he resigned.
