There are many people engaged in the food industry now. Because clothing, food, shelter and transportation are the four elements of people's lives, people often say that "food is the most important thing for the people" in their lives, so it can be seen from this aspect that people actually have a great demand for food. And this is also the rigid demand of the market. There has always been a market for food, and the market will only get bigger and bigger, so the prospect and future of engaging in this industry are very good. If you want to engage in this industry, you must carry out brand operation before you start, because it is the basis of building your own brand competitiveness and the beginning of improving the competitiveness of your enterprise. Next, let's talk about the process of food trademark registration?
The process of food trademark registration is divided into three stages: inquiry, review and announcement.
The inquiry stage refers to whether the applicant for trademark registration or his agent has the same or similar inquiry work with the trademark of the first right before applying for registration. Although this step is not an official necessary procedure, it is very important for enterprises to safeguard their own rights and interests, because if similar trademarks are not avoided in time, registered trademarks will not be passed to a large extent;
in the examination stage, trademark examination is divided into formal examination and substantive examination. The formal examination of trademarks (3-4 months) is very important for determining the application date. China implements the principle of first application for trademark registration, and once the application date arrives, it becomes the legal basis for determining trademark rights. The date of application for trademark registration shall be the date when the Trademark Office receives the application documents. After receiving the trademark application documents, the Trademark Office will issue a notice of acceptance to those that meet the formal requirements. The substantive examination will take 12 months. Through a series of examinations, such as examination, data retrieval, analysis and comparison, it will investigate whether the application complies with the trademark law, and conduct a series of activities such as preliminary examination and approval or rejection of the application.
announcement means that an application for trademark registration is announced in a trademark announcement after examination, and there is a three-month objection period during the announcement period.
the food trademark registration process is the same as the general trademark registration process. In the process of trademark management, enterprises should pay more attention to this aspect and finally bring better benefits to enterprises.
