What is the detailed introduction of the inquiry steps of Beijing Jingbiao Intellectual Property-Trademark Registration Inquiry Network?
In step 1, to query a trademark, you must first know which trademark category your industry or product corresponds to, because there are 45 categories of trademarks, and different categories protect different trademark fields. Therefore, the searcher must first know which category his registered trademark is, and you can query the world category through Baidu. After entering, you only need to enter the keywords of your industry or product, and you can match the corresponding trademark category.
In the second step, it is much easier to query the trademark name. You just need to find some tool systems from Baidu that can query the success rate of trademark registration online. For example, Baidu Biaotianxia trademark query can directly enter the system, and the specific trademark pass rate results can be obtained through the analysis of artificial+intelligent tools.
The third step, you can also go directly to the Trademark Office for enquiry. All trademark designs, names and categories can be queried in the system of the Trademark Office, but it may take time, especially for some commonly used trademarks, which may cost millions at a time. In the process of inquiry, we should filter out the same or similar ones in a meaningful way, compare them carefully, and then determine whether there are similar situations.
