When facing trademark squatting, there are actually ways to save it. Generally, when the Trademark Office examines a trademark, it will only examine whether the trademark has been registered before, and will not consider whether the trademark is someone else's trademark, which has led to many incidents of trademark squatting. Once a trademark is preemptively registered, it will definitely cause serious losses to the original user. So how to save a trademark that has been preemptively registered?

If the trademark has not been successfully registered, you can file an objection during the announcement period after the preliminary examination of the trademark is announced. According to the provisions of my country's Trademark Law, the trademark application will be initially reviewed by the Trademark Office. After passing the review, it will enter the announcement period. The announcement period lasts for three months. During this period, any entity can raise objections to the trademark application. Therefore, you can prepare evidence materials in time and file a trademark objection with the Trademark Office within the validity period.

If the trademark registration is successful. Then you may miss the opposition period. Although the trademark has been approved for registration, there is still a way. According to the provisions of the Trademark Law, the person who has been squatted can request the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board to declare the trademark invalid within five years. If it exceeds five years, he cannot apply for invalidation on the grounds of being squatted. Of course, well-known trademarks are not subject to time restrictions.

Apply for comprehensive trademark protection. Apply for trademarks for your main products and services in advance. If you fail to apply for trademarks, it will cause major hidden dangers to the company's later development. And if you only apply for the main category but not the related categories, it will also cause a lot of trouble if the related categories are preempted later.

So enterprises not only need to register the main categories, but also continuously increase the protection of trademarks and increase the protection of auxiliary categories according to the development of the enterprise. Even if the product is not yet so well-known, with the publicity and promotion of the company, the trademark will eventually be known to others. At this time, the company's intellectual property protection measures must keep up, otherwise problems will arise in development.

Therefore, when a trademark is preemptively registered, you can try to redeem your trademark through different response methods at different stages. Once it is recovered, you need to increase its protection.
