The difference between handling trademarks directly and entrusting an agency to handle them is:

1. The first is the inquiry. If you apply by yourself, you need to make your own inquiries. If you know how to apply, it’s okay. If you don’t know how, the success rate of applying will be too low, and the gain outweighs the loss. If you entrust an agency to handle the matter, and ask professionals from the agency to inquire, the accuracy of the inquiry will be higher.

2. The second step is data production and declaration. If you apply by yourself, you need to pay yourself and prepare the application materials yourself. Once the application materials are unqualified, it will not be accepted, which will seriously affect the trademark application time and lead to some unnecessary data blind spots. If you entrust an agency to declare, the agency will have full authority to handle it, and the chance of error is extremely low.

3. The third is post-maintenance. If you apply by yourself, the official documents from the Trademark Office will be mailed directly to the applicant, usually by registered mail. If the address is not fixed or cannot be found, you will not be able to obtain the official documents issued by the Trademark Office in time, which may result in the trademark being rejected. Failure to receive rejection notice in time, etc. If an agency is entrusted, official state documents will be sent to the agency and will be checked and received in a timely manner.

4. It is more secure to declare by yourself. Because the threshold for trademark agency is too low, there are trademark agencies everywhere in the market, but there are not many with real professional capabilities, and their services are uneven. Therefore, it is still difficult to find a reliable agency, so if you know how to do it, it is recommended to declare it yourself.
