There is a lot of knowledge about trademarks. Nowadays, more and more people begin to enrich their understanding of trademarks and know the necessity of trademarks. A trademark consists of many elements such as text, data and graphics. You can apply for a trademark alone or together. Of course, no matter what kind of application there are advantages and disadvantages. In the long run, the advantages of independent registration are more significant. What are the disadvantages of trademark combination application? Let's study together.
firstly, the risk increases. The risk of combined use is greater. The Trademark Office applied for trademark verification of separating Chinese characters, letters and graphics. If one of the factors is the same as or similar to the same factor in another person's trademark, the Trademark Office will reject the merger application as a whole.
secondly, it is inconvenient to use. It is inconvenient and inflexible to use in combination, otherwise it cannot be used alone. If the application is combined, it must be combined and cannot be split or changed. If used alone, it is very flexible and can be used alone or in combination at will.
the other is cost. The combined use cost is very low, and the single use cost is very high. Only one trademark application fee is required for merger application, and a corresponding amount of trademark fee is required for independent application. The apparent cost increases, but the intangible benefits in practical application far exceed the cost of independent registration.
therefore, the application of independent registered trademarks is very flexible, and can be used alone or in combination, which not only improves the probability of successful registration, but also improves the trademark defense ability after registration.
