Decide according to personal needs. You can choose not to, or you can choose to have it.
In order to promote a green office, trademark registration will be facilitated and reformed from November 27, 2018. The paper-based application will be optimized to include electronic application, which will save a lot of time and material resources. After the rise of electronic submission, Most agencies choose electronic methods because electronic applications are faster and less expensive than paper applications, eliminating the need for an intermediate mailing process.
And after successful registration, issuing a certificate is much faster than paper. You can use the electronic certificate online as soon as you receive it, while most of the paper certificates are issued one or two months after the electronic certificate arrives. It costs an additional 200 yuan for postage. There is also a QR code on the electronic certificate that can be scanned to go to the trademark registration certificate publicity system to check its content and validity.
Of course, this does not mean that paper certificates have no advantages. Although the application process for paper certificates will be slower, the advantage is that they can be promoted on the spot, such as in corporate exhibition halls, cultural walls, and desks. It shows the strength of the enterprise, so whether to require an electronic certificate or a paper certificate depends on the customer's requirements.
