First, the inevitable blank period
At present, the trademark query can only find the data four months ago. If it is the same as or similar to the blank trademark, it will be rejected. (The specific blank period shall be subject to the website inquired by the Trademark Office). Due to objective factors, the data was not entered into the inquiry system, and the internal staff of the Trademark Office could not find it.
The risk of trademark registration can be simply divided into objective risk and subjective risk. The objective risk is caused by the blind area of trademark inquiry. So what is the query blind area? It can be understood that when a person intends to register a trademark, he or his trademark agent should inquire in the trademark database of China Trademark Network whether anyone has registered the same or similar trademark as the trademark he wanted to register before, but in fact there is no trademark information in the trademark database for the first six months from the time of inquiry, but don't worry too much about this blind spot.
Second, luck is really bad.
Some trademarks are corrected after acceptance, but the earlier application date is retained. The Trademark Office did not enter it into the inquiry system in time, which made it impossible to search in the trademark database, and such similar trademarks would be rejected in the preliminary examination. There are objective factors that cannot be predicted.
Third, well-known trademarks get in the way.
Apply for a well-known trademark in an industry that is not known to the public.
Fourth, infringe on one's own trademark
The application of some provisions in the Trademark Law that cannot be used as registered trademarks will lead to rejection, such as the country name and the location of state organs, which can be avoided.
Foreign trademark is better than ours.
The influence of foreign trademarks applying for trademark priority in China is that the application time is earlier than yours, and the domestic data is not updated in time, which is an objective factor.
Objection of intransitive verbs
Objections raised by others, this factor belongs to the influence of others' wishes and is unpredictable.
There are two kinds of risks in trademark registration, namely, the risk of rejection review and the risk of objection, which occur in the subsequent procedures of trademark registration. Both of these processes may lead to the successful registration of trademarks or the rejection of trademarks, but it is rare for trademark applications to enter the follow-up procedures.
Seven, the examiner reason
The subjective judgment error of the examiner may lead to the rejection of the trademark, which is determined by the personal professional level and mood of the trademark examiner. If there are obvious errors in the review results, the applicant may file a review.
The risk of trademark registration application is subjective. I can avoid this risk indefinitely, but I still can't completely avoid it. Because when examining a trademark, the trademark examiner has roughly the same approximate judgment, significant judgment and prohibition judgment, there are still some subtle differences. There are several trademarks that some people think can be registered and some people think should be rejected.
