Legal subjectivity:

Many young entrepreneurs ignore trademarks while starting their businesses, resulting in infringement and loss of money and brand impact. It can be seen that it is necessary to conduct a trademark search during the process of registering a trademark. 1. How to check the validity period of a trademark. To check the trademark registration, you can entrust a trademark registration agency or you can check it yourself at the Trademark Office. The process of checking the status of trademark applications through trademark registration to find out whether the trademark you are planning to apply for registration is the same as or similar to someone else’s trademark that has been registered or is being applied for. Pre-application inquiry is an important step in applying for trademark registration. Although the inquiry results do not have legal effect, it can enable trademark registration applicants to be aware of the situation, reduce blindness, and reduce trademark registration risks, thus greatly reducing expenses. At the same time, strive for more application time. 2. How to judge whether a trademark is the same or similar 1. Two or more Chinese characters that are the same but are arranged in different orders will be judged as similar, such as Antu-Tuan, which are a pair of similar trademarks. 2. Three or more Chinese characters, if only a few characters are different, and the characters are less distinctive, they will be judged as similar, but there are several situations. 3. Word trademarks are only different in words indicating the location and business premises. If the other parts are the same, they will also be judged as similar. For example, Shuiyunxuan-Shuiyunge is a similar trademark. Of course, there are also words with relatively weak distinctiveness, such as family, century, etc. As long as they are the same as other parts of the combination of such words, they are all similar trademarks. 4. Another common situation is that for a four-character trademark, the two parts before and after can be made into a whole separately, and each one is registered separately during the query. 3. What to do about trademark infringement 1. First of all, pay attention to the collection of evidence. Because only when there is sufficient evidence, it will be helpful for the administrative law enforcement agencies or the judicial organs to determine whether a certain act is an infringement as soon as possible. Therefore, evidence is a prerequisite that affects the handling of cases. The Procedural Law stipulates that all facts proving the true circumstances of the case shall be evidence. 2. In the second step, after we have preliminary collected and organized the evidence, we should consult a professional agency. Professionals will conduct a preliminary analysis of the case and provide professional advice on details, which will help us handle the case better. 3. The third step is to prepare a complaint or indictment. When preparing a complaint or indictment, attention should be paid to effectively combining facts and tone to facilitate the smooth progress of the case. The complaint or indictment is the most direct factor that directly affects the progress of the case, so it is recommended to entrust professionals to complete it. 4. Finally, file a complaint or sue. To sum up, to check the validity period of a trademark, you can go to the acceptance window of the trademark registration hall to submit the application materials in person; you can also entrust a trademark agency to go to the Trademark Office to handle legal matters:

Before registering a trademark, you will plan to register it Compare the trademark with a trademark that has been registered or announced or has been accepted by the Trademark Office to determine whether the trademark is similar or identical to this trademark. There are two ways to inquire about trademarks: one is to go to the China Trademark Network to inquire about trademarks; the other is to find a trademark agent online to inquire about trademarks; trademark inquiry means that the trademark registration applicant personally or entrusts a trademark agent to go to the trademark registration authority to inquire about the relevant trademark registration. The procedure is to understand whether the trademark you are applying for registration is the same as or similar to the trademark that has been registered or is being registered by others. Pre-application inquiry is an important step in applying for trademark registration. Although the inquiry results do not have legal effect, it can enable trademark registration applicants to be aware of the situation, reduce blindness, and reduce trademark registration risks, thus greatly reducing expenses. At the same time, strive for more application time. Trademark search can only search for trademark information that has been entered into the database, so there is a blank period, or a blind spot. Generally, a similar trademark search is done 4 to 6 months after the trademark application to enhance the success rate of trademark registration. Article 28 of my country's Trademark Law stipulates that if a trademark applied for registration does not comply with the relevant provisions of this Law or is identical or similar to a trademark that has been registered or preliminarily approved by others on the same or similar goods, the trademark shall be replaced by a trademark. The Bureau rejected the application and did not make an announcement.

Therefore, an inquiry should be made before applying, so that the trademark can obtain a trademark certificate to the greatest extent possible. At the same time, it generally takes nearly a year for a registered trademark to be accepted by the Trademark Office and announced. If the registered trademark is rejected without inquiry, , not only wasting money, but more importantly, wasting time and delaying the use of the trademark.
