What should be paid attention to in graphic trademark registration?
In fact, in the process of registering trademarks, the elimination rate of graphic trademarks is relatively high, because as long as the distinctive features of graphics are similar, they will basically be judged as approximate trademarks, and the application will be rejected. So now the number of registered graphic trademarks is relatively small, mainly because complex trademarks are not used, and simple trademarks are easy to approximate. So what should we pay attention to when registering a graphic trademark? How to improve the success rate of trademark rejection review?
1. When designing a trademark, if you have unique thinking and innovation, you can register yourself, but don't imitate other people's trademarks. When you design, you will more or less mix other people's trademarks, which will easily lead to registration failure. You can also find a professional trademark design for exclusive creation.
2. Before registering a trademark, you must inquire about the graphic trademark to find out whether the trademark is similar, which can greatly reduce the probability of trademark similarity.
3. When registering a graphic trademark, you must design unique distinctive features, because when judging whether the graphic trademark is similar, it is more important to judge whether the distinctive features are similar or consistent.
4. The design of graphic trademarks should not be too complicated, so that the rejection degree will be higher and the review time will be extended. Simple graphic trademarks can be seen at a glance, although there is an approximate possibility, but it is more conducive to the play of trademarks.
5. If we register a complex combination of graphics, we can try to split the graphics into several simpler graphics for registration, which can reduce the risk. Even if the registration fails, we can know which part of the graph has problems and re-register. After registration, we can use them at will, which is very convenient and flexible.
The above is the necessary content about whether there are complaints about the similarity of trademark graphics. After the trademark is rejected, the applicant appeals to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board, that is, the review is rejected. Here, the applicant needs to pay the "trademark review fee" of 750 yuan. After the application for trademark registration is rejected, not only does the trademark appeal cost money, but also it is necessary to file a rejection review at the specified time of trademark appeal, otherwise it is easy to miss the opportunity.
