Ways to apply for trademark registration: 1. Confirm the scope of obtaining the exclusive right. Then, according to the prescribed commodity classification table, fill in the category and name of the commodity using the trademark and apply for registration. After nine months of preliminary examination and approval by the Trademark Office and three months of objection announcement, if no objection is raised, a registration certificate can be issued.

Legal objectivity:

Trademark registration is the premise and condition for trademark users to obtain the exclusive right to use trademarks. Only registered trademarks are protected by law. The principle of trademark registration is the basic standard to determine the exclusive right to use a trademark. The choice of different registration principles is the result of weighing the relationship between legal certainty and legal fairness on this issue. 1. Determine the trademark to be applied for and the trademark of the product to be protected: it can be just words, graphics, or a combination of the two (because the name you want is probably registered by others or similar, you can think of more than one name and then inquire; Commodities that need to be protected, such as clothing or liquor, can be selected according to the trademark classification table. If you are not sure, you can also consult relevant departments or professionals. 2. One way to choose registration is to apply for registration at the Trademark Registration Hall of the State Trademark Office (No.8 Sanlihe East Road, Xicheng District, Beijing); The other is to entrust an experienced trademark agency to organize agency services. Note: If you have no experience in registering trademarks and do not understand relevant laws and regulations, I suggest you entrust an agency to help, which will save you a lot of time and energy. 3. Before registration, it is best to find an authoritative and experienced organization to inquire, because your trademark may be the same as or similar to that of other registrants, so the inquiry before registration can greatly reduce the risk of trademark registration, improve the certainty of trademark registration and avoid conflicts with others. Note: Because different people are in charge of trademark inquiry and examination, they may have different opinions on the viewpoint of examination, so the result of trademark inquiry cannot be used as the final legal basis. 4. Prepare 6 trademark patterns (6 colored trademarks with specified colors, black and white ink 1 sheet), with the length and width not greater than 10 cm and not less than 5 cm. If the direction of the trademark pattern is not clear, the arrow indicates up and down; If an individual applies, he/she needs to show his/her ID card and provide relevant proof of use; Where an enterprise applies, it shall produce a copy of its business license and submit a copy stamped with the official seal, as well as a trademark agency power of attorney stamped with the official seal of the unit and the personal signature. 5. Applicants for the registration of identity trademarks must be enterprises, institutions, social organizations, individual industrial and commercial households, individual partnerships, foreigners and foreign enterprises in countries that have signed agreements with China, concluded international treaties with China or handled according to the principle of reciprocity. Note: If you can get the status of an overseas investor, the registration procedure will be much simpler. Apply according to the classification of goods and services. At present, goods and services are divided into 45 categories, including 34 categories of goods and services 1 1. When applying for registration, the category of goods or services using trademarks shall be determined according to the classification in the Classification Table of Goods and Services; Where the same applicant uses the same trademark on different categories of goods, it shall apply for registration according to different categories. Determination of the date of application This is the most important point: since China adopts the principle of applying first in trademark registration, once you have a trademark dispute with other enterprises, the enterprises with the earlier application date will be protected by law. Therefore, it is very important to establish the application date, which is based on the date when the Trademark Office receives the application. After receiving the written examination of the application, the Trademark Office will issue the Notice of Acceptance of Trademark Registration about 1 month. Then there are three procedures: trademark examination, preliminary examination announcement and registration announcement. It should be emphasized that a trademark that has passed the preliminary examination of the Trademark Office can not be registered until three months after the announcement, and the trademark is protected by law. The period of validity of a registered trademark is ten years, counting from the date of approval of registration. If it is necessary to continue to use the trademark after the expiration of the validity period, it may apply for the renewal of the trademark registration. 6. After obtaining the trademark registration certificate, the Trademark Office will issue a certificate to the registrant. If it is organized through an agent, the agent will send the trademark registration certificate to the registrant; For direct registration, the registrant shall obtain the trademark certificate from the Trademark Office within three months after receiving the Notice of Obtaining the Trademark Registration Certificate. At the same time, he shall also bring with him a letter of introduction for obtaining the trademark registration certificate, the witness's ID card and its photocopy, the original business license and the photocopy stamped by the local industrial and commercial department, the notice of obtaining the Trademark Registration Certificate, and the certificate of change issued by the industrial and commercial department if the name of the trademark registrant changes. Note: It usually takes about two to two and a half years from the application to the issuance of a new trademark, of which the acceptance and formal examination of the application takes about four months, the substantive examination takes about ten to eighteen months, the objection period is three months, and the approval announcement takes about three months to the issuance of the trademark.
