I have answered the same case that you met a few days ago. Repeat it here, and send it together with the question of the netizen at that time. If you are not clear, please contact me.
User qlcqlc2007 asked:
A trademark was registered some time ago, and the acceptance notice came down in two days. Yesterday, a foreign agency called me and wanted to sell the trademark to one of his customers. I didn't agree. They robbed the copyright very meanly and tried to bring a dispute to revoke my trademark during the trademark publicity period. They have registered online, and I handed in the information and registration fee as soon as I knew it. I want to consult a professional. Are registered trademarks and copyrights safe? The registered trademark is not a well-known trademark or a famous brand. It's just a good trademark that I've been thinking about for a long time. At present, the commercial value is not great, but it is too dirty, so they grab it if they can't buy it. One more thing, they registered the copyright online one day earlier than me, but they didn't pay the information and registration fee. Did I just hand in the information and registration fee directly? And after I own the copyright, will the trademark pass rate be high?
My answer (Trademark Review and Adjudication Network):
If your logo is designed by yourself, don't worry.
In addition, be careful, this may be a scam, because you have applied for a registered trademark for several days, and now it is impossible to know your registered trademark information in public channels. Only your organization knows. Under normal circumstances, the registered trademark information can only be found on the website of the Trademark Office at least four months after the application. Check it online. A few days ago, a similar case occurred in the eastern Tianshan Mountains.
Do three things at once,
First, keep all the documents and materials in the design process of this trademark, such as your contract with the design company, emails, various samples sent to you by the design company, revision records, etc. If you design it yourself, keep all the design source files, and don't cut and copy them at will.
Second, collect the names, telephone numbers and addresses of the agents you contact, and it is best to ask them to send you an official letter (seal) that intends to buy a trademark, and at the same time learn as much as possible about the people who buy your trademark.
Third, collect and keep the trademark agency contracts, documents, emails, text messages and other materials signed by your agency with you.
These preparations are for possible disputes in the future.
Netizen qlcqlc2007 questioned:
Thank you for your answers. My registered trademark is just a store name, only four words, and there is no design scheme. However, the agent gave me a contract and an invoice when I registered. On the second point, when they called me, they didn't give me enough money to change the name and door of the store. I refused directly, so there was no such thing as an official letter. Thirdly, when I thought of the trademark, I sent a message to the agency, and the content of the message was what I thought of.
My answer is:
If it's just four Chinese characters, it won't involve copyright issues, so don't pay attention.
