2. Inquiry of trademark registration rights:
Trademark search refers to the search by a trademark registration applicant or its agent to see whether the trademark applied for is identical or similar to the previously owned trademark before filing an application for registration. It is worth noting that although trademark search is not a required procedure for registering a trademark (following the principle of voluntary search), this work can greatly reduce the risks of trademark registration and improve the certainty of trademark registration. During the query process, due to factors such as data processing and trademark application review periods, some previously applied trademarks cannot be entered into the database, so this part of the information cannot be retrieved. In addition, the trademark search and examination work is undertaken by different personnel, and the search personnel and different examiners may have different opinions on the examination. Therefore, the results of the trademark search cannot be regarded as a legal basis and have no legal effect.
