What is the meaning of trademark blind search period and how to deal with it?
what is it? In this regard, we specially consulted Ms. Zhang of Henan Longsheng Trademark Office, the most authoritative trademark agency in Henan. She introduced that the so-called blind search period of trademarks means that the trademarks published on the website of the Trademark Office can't be searched for 3-6 months, which is the blind search period, that is, the vacuum period. In fact, it is the time process from submitting an application to the State Trademark Office to being able to find the information on China Trademark Online. In other words, it is the time from sending the paper materials of trademarks to the State Trademark Office to inputting the materials into the computer by the Trademark Office. The length of this process is determined by the efficiency of the State Trademark Office. Generally speaking, it is possible from one month to half a year. It should be pointed out that the trademark information in the vacuum period can't be found by the usual inquiry method. That is to say, if the applicant wants to apply for a certain trademark, it is impossible to avoid the risk of vacuum period. Theoretically, vacuum period will exist for a long time or even forever, so the query risk it represents will always exist. Therefore, waiting is not the way, or even self-deception. The vacuum period is an objective law of existence, and we must face it squarely. How to deal with the blind search period of trademark inquiry? Is there a good way to deal with the vacuum period? Strictly speaking, no. Even if you are the director of the State Trademark Office, you can't dig out similar trademarks from the mountains of paper documents that increase by thousands every day. Therefore, the principle of trademark application is "do it when you think about it", and luck is often on your side. A more feasible way is to make an inquiry once every six months after submitting a trademark application. If you can't find any new factors similar to your trademark, you should basically avoid the risk of vacuum period, and the rest is waiting for review. Finally, Ms. Zhang reminded that trademark registration is definitely risky and cannot guarantee the success of trademark registration. Therefore, it is suggested that enterprises should wait until the end of the blind trademark search period, that is, after your trademark application information is published on the website of the State Trademark Office, and then make a decision on whether to promote it in large quantities after being queried and searched again by professionals, so as to avoid more serious losses at that time. In order to shorten the blind area of inquiry to the maximum extent, Henan Longsheng Trademark Office introduced the most advanced trademark inquiry system software, which overcame the time and economic losses caused by the rejection of registration caused by the untimely update of software in general trademark offices.
