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.

Notes on registered trademarks 1. Blind registration: some agencies tell customers that your trademark will be registered if I help you register it, and some even guarantee that it can be registered (trademark registration can only be realized after the audit of the trademark office, and there is a blind spot in the initial inquiry of trademark name, and no one can guarantee which trademark can be registered).
2. Non-professional registration: Many agency companies will also inquire about customers' trademark names in the early stage, but most of the trademark names have similar trademarks that have been registered or are applying for registration. At this time, it is a very professional job whether those trademarks similar to your trademark name will hinder your trademark registration. He needs rich experience to make an accurate judgment, but some intermediaries simply don't have such professional qualities and want to attract customers and help them register.
3. Blind registration: it is a blind spot for trademark inquiry. For example, I want to see which trademarks were submitted yesterday or the day before yesterday, but it is impossible to inquire under the existing technical conditions, which brings risks to registered trademarks. So how to solve it? The best way to deal with blind spots is to track the inquiry service, so that the information submitted by trademarks can be tracked and inquired in time to minimize the risk of trademark registration.
Therefore, when choosing an agency, we must choose a company with deep qualifications and high professional quality, so as to avoid risks as much as possible and improve the success rate of trademark registration.
The importance of registering a trademark and applying for a patent lies in the use of a trademark, because it is only a sign that distinguishes other goods and services. Patents focus on monopoly, which can realize the possibility of seizing the market. Strictly speaking, if others don't infringe your trademark right, you don't have to rely on the trademark to attack your competitors (except to compete and compare with your competitors in brand building and product quality, but this is not the function of the trademark itself), but patents can.
If an enterprise only applies for a trademark and has no relevant patent protection, then the intellectual property protection done by this enterprise is still very primary. Others can crush you with the patent right. Don't say that the products you produce have no technical content. There is a kind of patent right called design patent, whose main purpose is to protect? Design? Yes China's patent law implements the principle of first application, and there is no such thing as the prior use of trademarks, nor does it protect products or methods that have been used in advance but have not applied for patents. The following briefly introduces several enterprises. Due to negligence in trademark registration or patent application, trademarks are registered by others and patents are infringed.
First, the products of enterprises are popular products, which are at the same level as those of competitors. It is considered that it is the same whether the trademark is marked or not, and enterprises only need to do a good job of service. After the enterprise completes the service, the enterprise develops. Now, I find that I sell not only products, but also services. I want to distinguish my service quality from my competitors, so I want to register my company name as a trademark, but it has been registered by others.
Second, when the enterprise was first established, it was small in scale, and it didn't matter whether it was a trademark or not. It even thinks that the name of the enterprise is the brand of the enterprise, and there is no need to register a trademark. With the growth of the enterprise, it is found that its own enterprise name has been registered by others, and the enterprise has to re-register its trademark and re-build its brand.
Third, enterprises are trading (or agency) companies that sell products from other manufacturers, such as non-productive companies such as exclusive agents and brand agents, and often feel that it is not necessary to build their own brands. However, when the enterprise develops into a chain operation, it finds that its own enterprise name has been registered as a trademark by others, or it takes several years for the enterprise to promote other people's products (the goods it represents). After the agency is suspended, it finds that it has made a wedding dress for others in brand strategy and neglected the creation of its own brand.
Fourth, the enterprise has begun to take shape, and has registered trademarks, even with the registered trademark of 10. At this time, enterprises often think that trademark registration protection has been put in place, so they can rest assured. But this time is often the most dangerous for enterprises, because with the growth of enterprises (the expansion of trademark awareness), brand-name phenomena began to appear, and some small enterprises began to compete unfairly around the trademarks of successful enterprises. A few years ago have gradually passed. Therefore, applying for a patent is also an urgent and necessary thing. Only in this way can we protect our own interests.
Therefore, to fully protect intellectual property rights, we should not only register trademarks or apply for patents, but also protect intellectual property rights as a whole and formulate relevant strategies.
