Trademark search method

1. Go to the China Trademark Network to search

The first thing to do is of course conduct a trademark search on the official website of the State Trademark Office, and this channel Still free. Business friends can search and log in Chinese trademarks. After entering the system, users can see the main functions: trademark similarity query, trademark comprehensive information query, trademark status query, error message feedback, operation guide. Trademark similarity query is the commonly mentioned trademark "pre-query", which is a trademark query. The most commonly used method is to determine the level of registration risk for general trademarks through similar trademark searches. Query includes Chinese character query, pinyin query, English query, digital query, graphic query, etc. After entering the system, the user can click "Trademark Approximate Query" and then enter the relevant interface.

2. Consult the entrusted agency

First of all, the trademark applicant determines the trademark that needs to be registered (separately for Chinese, English, and graphics). The product category used by the trademark is based on Nice Classification table, so you can choose the corresponding small commodities. When you are ready, you can go to the official open platform to check it yourself, or you can entrust an agency to inquire it. It may be difficult to judge similar trademarks by searching for trademarks by yourself. Of course, entrusting an agency can be very professional. Solve these problems effectively and provide detailed answers to improve the possibility of successful trademark registration.

3. Go to the lobby of the Trademark Office by yourself

This is limited to trademark applicants in Beijing. As we all know, the Trademark Office is in Beijing, and because the registration cost is not high, friends from other places go there. If you go to Beijing just to check registered trademarks, it will be a bit expensive, so this method is not recommended for foreign friends. For trademark registration inquiries, you only need to go to the Trademark Office in person to queue up and submit the trademark and the scope of use of the goods or services. The search results will be available within 30 minutes for word trademarks; the search results will be available within 24 hours for graphic trademarks.

4. Use trademark software to search

You can search online and download some professional software authorized by the Trademark Office. First, you must find out the category of the product or service you want to operate, and then conduct Trademark similarity search. However, searching for similar trademarks requires a certain amount of trademark expertise. To determine whether a trademark is a similar trademark, the success rate of registration also needs to be judged. Otherwise, it will be a waste of time and money to register without a certain amount of professional knowledge.
