Inquiring about the right of trademark prior to registration: Trademark inquiry refers to the inquiry about whether the trademark applied for by the trademark registration applicant or his agent is the same as or similar to the trademark prior to registration. It is worth noting that although trademark inquiry is not a necessary procedure for registered trademarks (following the principle of voluntary inquiry), this work can greatly reduce the risk of trademark registration and improve the certainty of trademark registration. In the process of inquiry, due to the influence of data processing and trademark application review period, some previously applied trademarks cannot enter the database, so it is impossible to query and retrieve this part of information. In addition, the trademark inquiry and examination work is undertaken by different personnel, and the inquiry personnel and different examiners may have different opinions on the examination point of view. Therefore, the result of trademark inquiry cannot be used as a legal basis and has no legal effect. Therefore, it is very important to find a professional trademark inquiry company or a trademark agency organization with perfect trademark inquiry conditions before registering a trademark. 3.

When applying for trademark registration, the categories of goods or services using the trademark should be determined according to the classification of goods and services. If the same applicant uses the same trademark on different categories of goods, he should apply for registration in different categories according to the classification of goods, which can avoid the improper expansion of the scope of application of trademark rights, and is also conducive to the approval of examiners and the protection of trademark exclusive rights.
