A few years ago, I entrusted an intellectual property agency to register the trademark, and the trademark registration certificate has come down. I registered the 18th class trademark and 25th class trademark. Let me talk about trademark registration in combination with my trademark registration process.

it takes one and a half years at the earliest from the application after the birth of a brand name to obtaining the trademark certificate. If it is slow, it will take more than two years. During that time, I went to the website of the Trademark Office to check the progress, and I was so anxious to wait. Fortunately, I found an agency and didn't handle it myself. It is suggested that it is best to find an intellectual property agency to apply for a registered trademark. People have been in this business for a long time and are familiar with the process, which makes the process smoother. If you run by yourself, it will cost money and time, but you may be unfamiliar with the handling process and the problems of providing the required documents, resulting in the delay of trademark approval.

The process of trademark registration is probably as follows:

1. First, design your trademark, whether it is pure text or graphics, or text+graphics. It should be designed as color draft and black-and-white draft.

2. You can inquire about the trademark in the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce by yourself or by an agency to see if your trademark infringes on the registered trademark.

3. If there is no problem, you can apply for trademark registration with the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and you need to fill in several forms, including: a copy of the industrial and commercial license (both copies are acceptable), a black-and-white draft of the trademark, the trademark category and the power of attorney for trademark registration, which need to be stamped with the official seal of the company.

4. The third step is to enter the formal review stage, which usually lasts for three months, mainly to review whether your trademark violates laws and regulations. After the formal examination, if it passes, the Trademark Office will issue a notice of acceptance. After receiving the written acceptance notice, your trademark can be used with TM logo, but it is not a registered trademark at this time, but it can be used temporarily. At this time, if there is a preliminary announcement on the website of the Trademark Office, you can inquire about your trademark, and you already have the registration number, which is the future registration number.

5. Next, we will enter the substantive examination stage, which will last about 1 to 1.5 years. During this period, if your trademark complies with laws and regulations, and no one raises any objection, it will begin to enter the next stage: announcement.

6. The announcement period is usually 3 months. If there is no accident, the Trademark Office will print your trademark registration certificate after 3 months and send it to you through the agency. At this time, your trademark will be added? It's marked

it will take about 1.5 to 2 years.

7. Infringement: When redesigning the font of a trademark, we should pay special attention to whether the font used is a copyright font. Some fonts are only allowed to be used in non-commercial fields. Once used in business, it involves commercial interests. When your brand has a certain popularity, it may come out to claim for rights protection from you.

generally speaking, trademark registration is not troublesome, but it takes time. Trademark name and trademark pattern design will be more troublesome. As for the registration stage, it is more time-consuming and patient.

I wish you early registration success!
