What should I do if someone calls me and says my trademark has been rejected? Recently, more and more trademark applicants have reported that they often receive calls from unknown numbers informing them that their trademarks have been rejected. Some of them actually received rejection notices later, and some of their trademarks were not rejected at all. So what should you do if someone calls and says your trademark has been rejected? Let’s take a look at intellectual property rights!

There are generally three situations for the person who notifies the rejection:

1. A person claiming to be a member of the Trademark Office or a unit of the Trademark Office

2. A person claiming to be so-and-so Someone from the trademark agency, but not the original agency

3. The original agency when applying for a trademark

Next, let’s analyze these three situations:

1. The Trademark Office is a national administrative unit. Generally, it will not notify the original trademark agency in the form of letters or notices. Therefore, anyone who claims to be the Trademark Office or a unit of the Trademark Office, It can be directly confirmed that it must be a liar! Just hang up the phone. Although the Trademark Office has introduced some policies and adopted relevant means to combat this kind of behavior, and although it has achieved great results, there are still some lawless people who ignore supervision and commit fraud.

2. Someone from a certain trademark agency notifies the rejection. They usually use some analysis software to judge the possibility of rejection, and then notify the trademark applicants one by one. They even claim to have "internal relationships". "Trademark Office cooperation", "A-level agency" and other companies. This kind of notification is generally probabilistic. Your trademark may not be really rejected. When they do it, they will often slander your original agency for how weak and unprofessional it is, and how it was rejected without even knowing it. thereby gaining the applicant’s trust. If the applicant's trademark is really rejected by then, they will rely on their previous bragging to prove their magical strength. Don’t you know that this is just a probabilistic event, and those applicants whose trademarks are really rejected will have no doubts about the strength of these agencies. Next, relying on the applicant's trust and slandering the original agency, they began to ask the applicant to undergo a rejection review, or ask for fees from the applicant using terms such as "guaranteed" and "guaranteed success."

3. When the original agency of the trademark application notifies the applicant of the rejection, they will generally send a rejection notice to the applicant with a red seal from the Trademark Office, which is sufficient for acceptance. If there is no notification, just a verbal notification will not be accepted.
