To apply for a US trademark, since the application must be submitted by a local lawyer in the United States, you will basically find an agent to apply in China. However, the water is very deep. Bajie reminds you how to avoid falling into the pit:
1. Regarding the question of whether the trademark can be registered:
There is no guarantee that trademark registration will be successful. Those who promise you that the trademark will be successfully registered before applying are lying, because there are many unknown trademarks. Examiner subjective factors.
It can only be said that the agency can help you check the success rate of the trademark in advance, make certain optimizations on this basis, and apply for trademark registration with a high success rate. In this case, the trademark can basically be registered.
2. Regarding the issue of refund if the trademark is not successfully registered:
In fact, many domestic intellectual property agents are irresponsible. Even if the registration is unsuccessful, the official fees will not be refunded. Return, but you need to inform us clearly before signing the agency agreement.
In addition, regular and large-scale trademark agencies generally have guaranteed registration packages. For those trademarks with low registration success rates, they provide refund services for unsuccessful registrations. Bajie has such a guarantee service and will write it into the agency agreement in advance to ensure the customer's rights and interests in the trademark registration application.
3. Regarding the problem of deep intellectual property agency:
When looking for an agent in the future, you must find an agency that has been registered with the Trademark Office and has a good reputation, and you must be careful Browse each clause of the agency agreement. If you have any questions, you can add them to avoid hidden fees or other disputes later.
Furthermore, the cycle of trademark registration application is very long, often taking about a year. Don’t find an irresponsible company to help you submit the trademark registration application and forget about it just for the sake of temporary gain. The other party doesn't know whether it was registered in the end, so the gain outweighs the loss.
So regular agencies will pay attention to the progress of trademark registration throughout the process, from submitting the application to issuing the acceptance notice to trademark review to registration announcement to issuing the certificate. They need to keep an eye on the progress on their behalf, and you also need to ask about the progress from time to time.
