Have you encountered the problem that TM cannot be marked with R? In this case, we can only review the objection to see if we can get it back. If the Trademark Office directly rejects it, we can only close the store.
In other words, flagship stores are not allowed to change their trademarks. The problem can only be solved from a trademark perspective.
If you are a franchised store, this is easy to do. The TM half-year-old brand has a quality inspection report, and the relevant authorization can be submitted to add brands. For TM, you need to pay an extra deposit of 50,000 (the price is different for different categories). If it is R, you don’t need to pay more.
There is a problem of TM half a year. It is said that stores with good operating conditions can wait for half a year. Of course, what is good is reviewed by Tmall.
I hope my understanding will be helpful to you.
After reading your conversation, I will give you some advice:
I laughed when I saw the impact on more than 20 entities.
If you really mind, make a dedicated online contribution, no need to distinguish between brands. Think about your problem of making goods and batching them. How much money do you need to invest here again?
Also, if you think a logo is still very important, don’t go tm and directly add the 2 characters you need next to your original R trademark. This must be without tm or R. It is equivalent to a series under the brand. You can never understand that what you add is a brand at any time. You can only say what series it is.
Because there are more than 2 brands (except for 35 categories of trademarks) in exclusive or flagship stores, one of them must be releasing non-agreed products.
(In some categories, it is possible for Xiaoer to open several brand authorizations under the flagship brand, such as Procter & Gamble and Gome, which have 35 categories. If you are a KA customer, you also have the opportunity to license them under the same category. Add more brands to you (for example, some big-name underwear stores)
From the beginning, your trademark cannot be used to close the store. If you can register it as a Class 35 mark, it may not necessarily need to be closed. The specific requirements are Look at the investment waiter, because the 35 categories are invited to enter.
