(The above information is for reference only, and the actual registration is subject to the Trademark Office. )
Entrust a nationally recognized trademark agency to act as an agent:
You only need to provide information according to the requirements of the agent. If you plan to build a business website for an enterprise, you should pay more attention to the VI design of the website. If the enterprise itself has a unified CI design, then the VI design of the website should follow its CI design. Of course, the premise is that you must have a suitable CI design. According to our experience, quite a few CI designs are not suitable for the visual design of websites, which greatly restricts the design of websites. Therefore, it is necessary for enterprises to listen to the opinions of professional web page producers even if they intend to touch the net temporarily when formulating CI design.
Finding a professional and reliable design consulting company can get twice the result with half the effort! A good VI design can actually be developed by logo design, color or standard font already specified in CI design. Especially in the color part, the right colors can often complement each other. In addition, the design change of the consistency of the logo itself is also a change. In short, all practices must be able to develop a set of designs with more brand image, and the overall characteristics of the website can be fully integrated into the minds of visitors. A VI design that can make visitors remember and attract visitors back is a successful website VI design.

What preparations should I make before applying for trademark registration? 1. On the right of prior registration of trademarks;
Inquiry refers to the inquiry whether the trademark applied by the applicant for trademark registration or his agent is the same as or similar to the trademark that enjoyed the prior right before applying for registration. It is worth noting that although trademark inquiry is not a necessary procedure for registered trademarks (following the principle of voluntary inquiry), this work can greatly reduce the risk of trademark registration and improve the certainty of trademark registration. In the process of inquiry, due to the influence of data processing and trademark application review period, some previously applied trademarks cannot enter the database, so it is impossible to inquire and retrieve this information. In addition, trademark inquiry and examination are undertaken by different personnel, and inquirers and different examiners may have different opinions on the examination point of view. Therefore, the trademark query results cannot be used as a legal basis and have no legal effect. Therefore, it is very important to find a professional trademark inquiry company or a trademark agency with perfect trademark inquiry conditions before registering a trademark.
2. Preparation of trademark application materials:
(1) If you apply in the name of a natural person, you need to show your ID card and submit a copy of the business license of individual industrial and commercial households, individual partnerships and other business entities. To apply for registration with an enterprise as the applicant, it is necessary to produce a copy of the business license of the enterprise and provide a copy of the business license signed by the issuing authority. A complete application for trademark registration, stamped with the official seal of the unit and personal signature.

The provided trademark pattern must be clear and easy to stick, and replaced by bright and durable paper or photos, with the length and width not exceeding 10 cm and less than 5 cm. If the direction of the trademark pattern is not clear, it should be indicated by an arrow. When applying for trademarks of cigarettes and cigars, the design can be as big as the actual use.
