Be careful when buying bids, don’t be greedy for cheap and buy a damaged bid!

Many people probably don’t know what a “disabled bid” is. I will give you an example below, and I believe everyone will be able to understand. Boss Chen produces and sells daily chemical products, including soap, washing powder, shower gel, etc. With the rise of e-commerce, we also want to expand the online market. So I plan to enter Tmall Mall. However, you need to have a trademark to settle in, and registration now takes more than a year. Whether it can be approved is still unknown. So I decided to buy a ready-made mark, which is quick and hassle-free. I saw a trademark company discounting low-priced trademarks, so I spent 4,500 to buy a Class 3 trademark. I'm quite satisfied with the name, and I think I'm getting a big deal. After completing the transfer, Boss Chen quickly applied to move in. Seeing that his products were ready to go, he was told that he was not eligible. The products he bought were only in three major categories and could not be used except for 0307 toothpaste and tooth cleaning agent. Boss Chen regretted that he did not understand trademarks and only knew the three major categories but did not pay attention to the sub-categories. In addition, the trademark company did not explain these situations to himself. Not only did I spend 4,500 yuan on a damaged label, but I also lost a lot of money on the packaging and labeling of my products. Too late to regret... Then how to define it as a disabled mark? A disabled mark refers to a trademark with less than 5 small items under a large category. Some registrants only applied for less than 5 small category items when registering, while others only applied for less than 5 items after being rejected. Therefore, when buying a trademark, you must pay attention to the sub-categories under the major categories, or ask a consultant to find out clearly. Do not blindly buy a trademark, otherwise the consequences for Mr. Chen will be more than worth the loss!
