Whether the trademark search result is accurate or not is related to whether the trademark can be certified. It can be said that accurate judgment is equivalent to getting half of the certificate. So how to judge the query results? Can I register if I have a prior application, or can I register if I don’t have a prior application? Below we will teach you several judgment methods.

1. Identical. If the query result contains the same previously applied trademark, open the trademark details to check in which subclass the other party's trademark is registered, and also check whether the trademark is within the validity period. If the registered categories are the same but the sub-categories are different, you can re-register (except for similar groups). At the same time, if his trademark is invalid, you can also apply again.

2. Partially the same. For example, the other party has registered a trademark that combines Chinese and English, but you only want to register a Chinese trademark, or vice versa. Well, this situation is actually the same as being identical. The elements in the trademark review process are separated, such as Chinese characters, foreign languages, numbers, graphics, etc. As long as one element is the same, it will be deemed that it cannot be registered.

3. Approximation. This situation is relatively complicated, and the discussion mainly revolves around the distinctiveness of the trademark. A single article is not enough to explain it, so we will not discuss it further for the time being. If you encounter problems, you can contact Qihong.com customer service and let her help you. Determine whether it is a similar trademark.

4. If none of the above situations occur, you also need to determine whether your trademark is prohibited from registration. For example, common industry words cannot be registered, names that are the same or similar to country, place names, etc. cannot be registered, etc. .

You may not know how to search for similar trademarks, but you definitely need to find a trademark agency to search. Even if you know how to search at the National Trademark Office, you still don’t know the relevant knowledge to determine similarity.
