How to check the progress of trademark application? Inquiries about registered trademarks:
1. Generally, after applying for registration, the application information will be published in official website of the State Trademark Office in about six months. You can inquire about the trademark application in official website of the State Trademark Office, or inquire about the trademark information in official website of Bajie Intellectual Property Trademark Inquiry.
2. Inquire about the registered trademark. Check the trademark application in "Comprehensive Inquiry".
3. Check whether the trademark is rejected in the "status query".
4. Check whether there are blind spots in your trademark application in "approximate query".
Note: To use the official website of the State Trademark Office, we must first determine the elements of the trademark: words, figures or letters. Each element is queried separately. Once an element is not marked, the whole trademark will not be registered. In addition to the basic situation that the national emblem cannot be registered as a trademark, the factor query also includes whether it has been registered by other companies before, and similar factors are not acceptable.
Therefore, many people feel very troublesome and do not have enough knowledge reserves, and most of them turn to agency companies (such as Bajie Intellectual Property).
