As we all know, it takes more than ten months to apply for trademark registration. If the previous trademark inquiry and analysis are not done well and rejected by the Trademark Office, the fee will not be refunded. This is not only a waste of money, but also a waste of precious time.
then, is there a 1% guarantee method for trademark registration?
Before answering this question, we should first understand several questions:
Objective factors:
Trademark blank period. What is the blank period of trademark? Trademark blank period means that after the applicant submits an application for trademark registration to the Trademark Office, the Trademark Office needs about 3-4 months to scan, input, divide graphic elements, divide trademarks into cards, classify goods and services, and make financial reconciliation for each application document, and then information can be found in the National Trademark Network.
when inquiring about trademarks, there is always a blank period of 3-4 months (also called blind inquiry period) where data cannot be inquired. So as long as there is a blank period, the trademark will not be 1% guaranteed to succeed.
even if the trademark is approved in the first instance, it will need to enter a three-month announcement period. After the announcement expires, the trademark will be registered successfully. During the announcement period, if the public thinks that the trademark passed in the first instance violates the provisions of the Trademark Law or relevant laws and regulations, or infringes on their own rights and interests, they can raise an objection to the trademark office. If the trademark office decides that the objection is established, the trademark will be invalid.
Subjective factors:
The Trademark Law has restrictions on the prohibition of registration and use. Trademark agents will check and analyze the applied trademarks according to the Trademark Law and Trademark Examination Rules to determine whether the pass rate is high.
Different trademark agents often have different judgments and understandings of the same trademark due to their rich or insufficient experience in query and analysis, thus giving different results. However, different trademark office examiners sometimes have different understandings of the same trademark, and the results will be far from each other, which leads to a lot of luck in trademark examination.
Knowing the above factors, the answer is self-evident. All promises of 1% successful registration are false propaganda and word games. The so-called invalid refund means that even if the trademark registration certificate is issued, it is successful, regardless of whether the goods protected by the trademark registration certificate are needed by the applicant.
So I would like to remind you that when choosing an agency, don't be tempted by the low price and the so-called 1% successful registration of packages! Do you believe that the market is generally still? One price, one goods? Yes, we must not affect the long-term interests of enterprise development because of the small profits in front of us.
