If we analyze the domestic trademark system and development environment, I think trademark agents will still be a sunrise industry for at least 3 years. The most convincing evidence is that 98% of enterprises in China have not registered their own trademarks (on a global scale), which makes China enterprises in a very passive position in the life-and-death international competition. Many of our trademarks have been registered in foreign countries, but when our goods are sold internationally, we have to pay the trademark owners a large amount of trademark use fees. The cases of "Tongrentang" and "Wang Zhihe" are shocking!
At present, the entry threshold for trademark agents in China is low, and the professional restrictions are not great. Those who basically have the advantage of a foreign language and major in grammar can be competent. "It is necessary to enter the profession before it is too late." This industry has not attracted as much attention as the lawyer industry, and the competition in the industry is not fierce. Moreover, agents can be employed as trademark consultants for life. Even if they retire, they can be employed by other firms, universities, government agencies and large enterprises. I think a trademark agent is a good choice in the current employment environment, provided that you have a certain knowledge accumulation and skill reserve. Remember to be impetuous and work steadily for three years.
first of all, the trend of global economic integration has basically taken shape, and every commodity is the result of the integration of various global resources. For example, notebook computers, the core patented technology may be American, the main components may be British, Japanese and Singaporean, the production technology and management standards are German, the manufacturing process is in China or Viet Nam, and the raw materials of products may come from countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America or even places you have never heard of before, not to mention the logistics and sales networks all over the world. This reality requires a set of rules and standards that everyone should follow. We all want to develop ourselves under this rule and standard. Undoubtedly, the most important and core of all rules and standards is the intellectual property system, and the trademark system is one of the most important components of the intellectual property system.
Secondly, judging from the current situation of trademark protection in China, as of December 31, 21, more than 85% of China enterprises have not owned their own trademarks, and the vast majority of domestic enterprises are only OEM factories of foreign companies, which undertake "OEM" and "ODM" and are at the bottom of the global industrial chain, which is very dangerous. China has the largest market in the world, which has existed since WTO accession.
Thirdly, in recent years, the state has also significantly increased its efforts in policy support and legal system construction. As far as I know, in some areas, the local government and trademark management departments will provide a certain amount of policy subsidies for newly registered trademarks. As a professional legal talent, trademark agents will have a lot of development opportunities. As long as they have both software and hardware conditions, and have received certain vocational training, they can expect to become an excellent trademark agent and realize their personal value.
in p>8, there were 698, trademark registration applications; In 29, there were 83,5 trademark registration applications; 1.72 million trademark registration applications in 1 years. By the end of 1 years, there were 8.295 million applications for trademark registration in China, 5.628 million registered trademarks and 4.64 million valid registered trademarks, ranking first in the world (two thirds of SMEs in China have no trademarks).
therefore, there is still a lot of room for development and a very good prospect.
I wish you success!
