Common reasons for refusal are:
The 1. trademark is a common name.
2. Trademark has a bad influence.
3. The trademark is similar to the trademark previously applied by others.
Among them, the reasons for being rejected because they are similar to others are the most. Because of approximate repulsion, there are also different treatment methods.
For example, 1 is exactly the same as others' previous trademarks. Then the success rate of dismissing retrial is basically not. Should be carried out together with the trademark withdrawal.
2. Other people's prior trademarks are only approximate. Especially for graphic trademarks, sometimes different people have different opinions. If there are obvious differences, it is possible to reject the review and finally obtain the trademark registration certificate.
3. In another case, it is the same as or similar to the prior trademark of others, but this prior trademark is also in the state of rejection. In this case, the effect of rejecting the review is much better than re-registration. Because the previously cited trademark may become invalid in the process of rejection, it is no longer an obstacle.
In addition, taking case 1 as an example, it takes almost one year to wait for the process of trademark revocation, invalidation and objection. In this case, it is necessary to review the trademark.
Therefore, the effect of trademark rebuttal reply is better than that of reapplication. Because at present, the cited trademarks in China National Intellectual Property Administration often change when they are approved.
For example, you applied for the ABCD trademark, and now the reason for rejecting it is that it is similar to the ABDD trademark. When you reapply for a trademark, the next time you reject it, you can say on the notice of trademark rejection that it is similar to ABCE. If so, the significance of revoking the ABDD trademark will be lost, and sometimes people will vomit blood.
Therefore, for important trademarks, we should not only reject the re-examination, but also make preparations for trademark administrative litigation and make long-term strategies before other cooperation means such as trademark revocation, objection and invalidation have no results.
Of course, not all trademarks are worth cooperating with other trademark means, and not all trademarks are worth going through the process of 1-2 years. Some trademarks are not very valuable before they are put into use. Instead of wasting time and energy, it is better to apply for a new trademark. For important trademarks, we should review and strive for them.
