There are several main situations of chaos in the trademark industry: First: creating something out of nothing and inducing customers to register trademarks.

There are some dishonest agencies trying to use this method to create performance. They call customers all day long and say that the trademark law requires that the trademarks used by enterprises must be registered, otherwise the Industrial and Commercial Bureau will fine you and deduct money. Your license and so on. In fact, these are all lies. Except for cigarettes and medicines, which are compulsory to register under the Trademark Law, other categories do not require trademark registration. Enterprises register trademarks in order to enjoy the exclusive rights to trademarks, and also for the long-term development and brand building of the enterprise, but there is no such thing as compulsory registration. Second: Deliberately delaying the trademark declaration time

This type of agency often attracts customers with low prices and promises a variety of service guarantees, but generally requires full payment. Once the fee is collected, the agency Agencies are either dragging their feet or simply disappearing. The Trademark Law stipulates that applying for trademark registration shall not damage the existing prior rights of others. Encountering such an agency is likely to cause delays and result in the trademark being registered. Third: Charge fees at will with clever names

Agency has repeatedly charged fees randomly, such as asking for handling fees or production fees and certificate fees when giving customers the "Notice of Acceptance" and "Trademark Registration Certificate", repeated many times Pay the fees. In fact, the only fees are the basic agency fees paid to the Trademark Office and the agency's service fees. During the trademark registration process, the Trademark Office only charges 300 yuan, agencies generally charge 500-1,000 yuan, and Maizhi.com only charges 200 yuan as a service fee. ?Fourth: Fishing in troubled waters and defrauding enterprises of trademark renewal fees.

Some agencies deceive companies into taking money to renew before renewal time. We know that a trademark is valid for ten years. If you want to renew, you must apply within 12 months of the trademark expiration or 6 months after the expiration. It is possible to apply within the month, but some agencies fish in troubled waters and tell companies that their trademarks have expired and need to be renewed immediately, otherwise they will be fined thousands of yuan for being late. However, many companies ignore such issues and often just I paid the money in a daze. Fifth: Falsifying documents to conceal the truth

The cases of forged acceptance notices investigated and dealt with by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau are no longer isolated cases. From acceptance notices to trademark certificates to rejection notices, there are “copycat versions” of various certificates. Driven by interests, some agencies forge national documents and conceal the truth from applicants regardless of the risk of violating the law. ?Sixth: Threats to intimidate consumers.

Illegal agencies first collect or purchase the phone numbers of some business owners from the Internet, newspapers and other channels. After finding the owners through the phone, they pretend to be the government-affiliated trademark census center or the National Trademark Registration Bureau Monitoring Center. Personnel, if you do not register a trademark, the government will punish your company. The penalty can only be lifted after paying a certain fee. However, because some entrepreneurs do not understand the true situation of the matter, they inexplicably "spend money to buy peace". In fact, these are illegal Under the guise of an agency, you must know that trademarks have exclusive rights and are legally protected by law. As long as they are successfully registered and have ownership, they cannot be illegally infringed.
