1. Inquiries before the submission of trademark registration.
At present, there are more and more trademarks registered in China, and not all names can be registered. When the Trademark Office conducts the examination, it has the same name, homophonic, similar trademark, etc. Will be rejected, and some trademark laws clearly stipulate that it cannot be registered. Trademark inquiry can effectively improve the pass rate of registration, otherwise, if the applicant spends money and invests in publicity, the subsequent trademark registration failure will not be worth the loss.
Second, be wary of absolute commitments through internal relations, expedited registration, and 100% pass rate.
Don't rush to use the trademark, I believe it is urgent to register. The process of trademark registration: it takes 6-9 months for the preliminary examination of trademarks, and it will be announced 3 months after the preliminary examination, so the whole time is 9- 13 months. Urgent declaration can be submitted as soon as possible, but urgent registration is impossible for any organization. Moreover, after submitting the application for trademark registration, the statement that there is no internal relationship 100% can be passed after being examined by the official examiner of the Trademark Office. When an organization tells you an absolute thing, don't believe it easily.
Three, the registration materials should be true, can not resort to deceit.
For example, when submitting a registered trademark, you need to provide a company business license or a self-employed business license. Don't take chances and try to save trouble by forging relevant documents, otherwise it will waste trademark registration fees and time.
Fourth, be wary of the ultra-low cost of registered trademarks. What you think is cost-effective, is actually into the pit.
The trademark registration fee is divided into two parts: the official fee of the trademark office and the service fee of the trademark agency. One standard and one class (10 goods/services) cost 300 yuan. If it is submitted to 270 yuan through online channels, each additional item is 30 yuan and online 27 yuan. If multiple expense categories are selected, they will be recalculated and superimposed. There are many agencies online whose registered trademark fees are 299,399,499 yuan and so on. At this time, we should keep our eyes open and be alert to the phenomenon of arbitrary charges. After all, no one will do business at a loss.
Beware of incoming calls-your trademark has been rejected!
Many people will receive some phone calls after registering a trademark, saying that your registered trademark has been rejected, and they can provide you with services such as rejection and review, but it is not necessarily true. After registering a trademark, you can check the relevant progress through the website of China National Intellectual Property Administration Trademark Office. If the trademark is rejected or raised by others, the Trademark Office will issue an official document, which shall prevail.
