Domestic trademarks: refer to enterprises, institutions, social organizations, individual industrial and commercial households, individual partnerships, etc. Having a domicile and headquarters in China and a real and effective business place, registered by the administrative department for industry and commerce according to law, and independently bearing civil liability. A joint venture, cooperative enterprise or sole proprietorship enterprise established by foreigners or enterprises in China, whose legal place of industrial and commercial registration is within the territory of China, is a domestic trademark. Similarly, you should apply for a registered trademark according to the regulations of domestic enterprises.

Not applying for a trademark registration certificate can be protected in China. However, if you do not have a certificate issued by the Trademark Office when handling legal affairs, you will be in trouble, because the registration certificate registered in Madrid belongs to foreign evidence and must be fairly certified in Switzerland before it can be used as evidence in China.

For domestic trademark registration, you only need to provide relevant information to apply to the State Trademark Office.

There are several kinds of international trademark registration:

One is single country registration, that is, trademark registration in each country.

The second is the international registration of Madrid trademarks. So far, Madrid has 83 States parties.

Third, EU trademark registration. At present, the EU has 27 member states. As long as one member state is rejected or someone raises an objection, the application of the whole EU will be rejected.

Fourth, the trademark registration of the African Intellectual Property Organization. The African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI) is an intellectual property protection alliance composed of former French colonies and countries whose official language is French. * * * There are 65,438+06 member countries.

First of all, trademark registration protection is regional, and it is protected by the laws of which country it is registered in. Trademarks registered abroad can be used in China without showing any certificates.

But it is not protected by law in China. Therefore, foreign brands also need trademark registration and exclusive rights to enter the domestic market, otherwise they will not be protected by law. Many foreign brands registered domestic trademarks even before entering the China market, saying that trademarks are market access cards and umbrellas is not an exaggeration.

Secondly, since a trademark is registered abroad, it must be registered in China to be protected if it is to be used in China. So what exactly do you want to do? The name of the protected country and region will be written on your trademark registration certificate. If China is written on the registration certificate, you can apply to the China Trademark Office for a trademark registration certificate. It takes about 2-3 months to apply for a trademark registration certificate.
