Recently, more and more trademark applicants have reported that they often receive calls from unknown numbers informing them that their trademarks have been rejected. Some of them actually received rejection notices later, and some of their trademarks were not rejected at all. . For applicants, there are many cases where they are panicked when someone informs them that their trademark has been rejected, and they seek medical treatment in a hurry, leading to being deceived. There are roughly three situations when notifying the person of rejection

A person claiming to be the Trademark Office or a unit of the Trademark Office

The Trademark Office is a national administrative unit and generally will not notify in any verbal form. , most of them are notified to the original trademark agency in the form of official notices, so anyone who claims to be a trademark office or a unit of the trademark office can be directly sure that he must be a liar! Just hang up the phone. Although the Trademark Office has introduced some policies and adopted relevant means to combat this kind of behavior, and although it has achieved great results, there are still some lawless people who ignore supervision and commit fraud.

People claiming to be from a certain trademark agency, but not the original agency

People claiming to be from a certain trademark agency notify the rejection. They usually use some analysis software to judge The possibility of being rejected is then notified to the trademark applicants one by one, and companies even claim to have "internal relationships", "trademark office cooperation", "A-level agencies", etc. This kind of notice is generally probabilistic, and your trademark may not actually be rejected. When they do it, they will often slander your original agency and even know that it was rejected, etc., so as to gain the trust of the applicant. If the applicant's trademark is really rejected by then, they will rely on their previous bragging to prove their magical strength.

Don’t you know that this is just a probabilistic event, and those applicants whose trademarks are really rejected will have no doubts about the strength of these agencies. Next, relying on the applicant's trust and slandering the original agency, they began to ask the applicant to undergo a rejection review, or ask for fees from the applicant using terms such as "guaranteed" and "guaranteed success."

The original agency at the time of trademark application

The original agency at the time of trademark application notified the rejection. In response to the rejection notice, they will usually send a rejection notice to the applicant, with the Trademark Office on it. The red seal is enough to be accepted. If there is no notification, just a verbal notification will not be accepted.

Warm reminder: Some organizations take advantage of applicants' eagerness and use some illegal means to gain the trust of applicants in order to solicit business. Applicants are reminded again that no matter who notifies you that your trademark has been rejected, please read the rejection notice before continuing the conversation, otherwise, you may be deceived.
