If the trademark agency closes down, what should you do with your trademark? Here is a detailed explanation for you.

First confirm what stage your trademark is at:

If your trademark is being applied for, you can apply for a change of trademark agent. After successful registration, the new agency will collect it. And help you mail it to your location.

If your trademark website is sure that the certificate has been issued, you can take the certificate to the Trademark Office to get the certificate.

1. "Notice of Receiving Trademark Registration Certificate"; if you have not received the "Notice of Receiving Trademark Registration Certificate", you must submit a copy of the applicant's business license and its copy, or affix the applicant's official seal. A copy of the business license, and provide the trademark registration number and announcement period;

2. A letter of introduction from the applicant’s unit;

3. The original ID card of the recipient and its Copy;

4. If the applicant's name has been changed, a name change certificate issued by the registration authority must be submitted;

5. If the trademark has been transferred, it must be submitted to the Trademark Office for approval of the transfer Trademark certification.

If you change the agency just to receive the trademark certificate, it is a bit late. Change the agency. In the future, these trademarks will be monitored by the new agency for you. Since it has changed, it is not bad.

In addition, confirm whether the trademark registration certificate has indeed been sent to the original agency or returned to the Trademark Office. If it is at the bureau, you can entrust someone to collect it on your behalf or go and collect it in person.

If you can’t find it in the end, you can only apply for a new certificate.

Trademark registration is related to the brand strategy of the enterprise. The professionalism and integrity of the agency are very important to the enterprise. In view of this, the following two opinions are provided:

1. Lack of honest trademark agency Means:

At present, the relevant laws and regulations governing the trademark agency industry are not standardized. Trademark agency companies are a mixed bag, and it is not uncommon for trademark agents to lack integrity. The common tricks are as follows:

One, free search fee, low-cost solicitation of business: There are currently millions of registered trademarks across the country, and the trademarks are identical and similar with a high probability. Trademark registration must be searched. If the search fee is waived, you can only search in the relevant free search system. The accuracy of trademark search is very low, and the success rate of trademark registration is very small.

The second type is false promises, oral guarantees of smooth evidence collection: it is impossible to promise that trademark registration will be successful, trademark inquiries, trademark reviews, trademark objections (raised by any third party during the trademark announcement period), etc. Many human factors make trademark registration uncertain. Trademark registration only requires trademark agency professionals to do sufficient work on trademark registration to increase the success rate of trademark registration. Identical and similar logos will never be declared, so as to achieve a success rate of 99% or higher as much as possible.

The third type, short-term operation, cheating and evading responsibility: Some consulting companies borrowed foreign trademark companies to sign agency contracts with local customers according to the trademark registration cycle, which lasted for more than a year. The company is responsible for this, but the company itself is not responsible. Moreover, these companies register trademarks first and earn some cash first. They may switch to other businesses or the company will go bankrupt if the trademark clients haven’t discovered the problem within two years. As for whether the client’s trademark registration is successful, they have no control over it. .

The fourth method is to promise to obtain the registration certificate in a short time: The national regulations for trademark registration are about one year, and some agencies falsely claim that they can obtain the certificate in a very short time. This is purely Outright fraud.

2. Under the actual conditions of the enterprise listed below, it is recommended that trademark customers entrust an agency to pay attention to the following points:

1. Choose a formal and qualified trademark agency. Company: Formal companies are relatively stable. Trademark customers can log on to the website of the National Trademark Office to view the registration information of the trademark agency.

Second, go to the trademark agency for on-site inspection and conduct on-site inspection: after all, trademark registration takes nearly a year, so trademark customers are advised to visit the trademark agency to check its business scale and business license. , agent qualification registration, etc., it is advisable to understand more detailed information to avoid encountering irregular agents or "black agents".

Third, be sure to conduct a trademark search: don’t waste a small amount of money on a trademark search, resulting in identical or similar trademarks, unsuccessful registration, and ultimately complete changes to the company’s logo and promotional materials, which will affect the company’s reputation. Normal operations.

Fourth, don’t blindly and one-sidedly pursue low prices. It’s better to have a moderate price: the profit of a trademark company registering a trademark is only a few hundred yuan, and the trademark company has to follow up for nearly a year. Profit is lower. Excessive pursuit of low prices will inevitably lead to inefficiency, lack of professionalism, and poor service.

Fifth, ask for trademark registration documents: Trademark registration takes a long time, and trademark clients should ask for trademark agency documents to have evidence to rely on.

Sixth, when choosing a trademark agency, you should also consider the comprehensive business capabilities of the trademark company: trademark objections may also arise during the trademark registration process. After successful registration, trademark disputes, trademark rights protection, trademark supervision, etc. will also be involved. Trademark objections, disputes, rights protection, etc. are extremely professional, and it is best to find a professional intellectual property lawyer to participate in the handling.
