How to register a trademark:

First, go directly to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce for consultation and registration

Second, entrust an agency to register a trademark

The trademark registration procedures are as follows: (

First, preparation for registration

1. Choice of registration methods:

One way is to go to the State Trademark Office to register a trademark (China Trademark Law allows citizens to apply for trademark registration directly to the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce).

another way is to entrust a trademark agency to provide you with trademark agency services. In this way, it will save you a lot of time and energy. Of course, the other party will charge the corresponding agency fee.

2. Inquiring about the right of prior registration of trademarks: (Trademark inquiry)

Trademark inquiry refers to inquiring whether the trademark applied for by the applicant for trademark registration or his agent is the same as or similar to the trademark with prior right before filing the registration application. It is worth noting that although trademark inquiry is not a necessary procedure for registered trademarks (following the principle of voluntary inquiry), this work can greatly reduce the risk of trademark registration and improve the certainty of trademark registration. In the process of inquiry, due to the influence of data processing and trademark application review period, some previously applied trademarks cannot enter the database, so it is impossible to query and retrieve this part of information. In addition, the trademark inquiry and examination work is undertaken by different personnel, and the inquiry personnel and different examiners may have different opinions on the examination point of view. Therefore, the result of trademark inquiry cannot be used as a legal basis and has no legal effect. Therefore, it is very important to find a professional trademark inquiry company or a trademark agency organization with perfect trademark inquiry conditions before registering a trademark.

3. Preparation of trademark application materials:

(1) If you apply in the name of a natural person, you need to show your ID card and submit a copy of your identity. If you apply for registration with an enterprise as the applicant, you need to show a copy of the business license of the enterprise and provide a copy of the business license signed by the issuing authority. A complete application for trademark registration stamped with the official seal of the unit and personal signature.

(2) 1 trademark designs (for colored trademarks with specified colors, 1 colored designs and 1 black-and-white ink draft should be submitted). The trademark pattern provided must be clear and easy to paste, and be replaced by bright and durable paper or photos, with the length and width not more than 1 cm and less than 5 cm. Where the direction of the trademark pattern is unclear, the arrow shall be used to indicate the top and bottom. When applying for the trademark of cigarettes and cigars, the design can be as large as the actual use.

(3) Prepare the corresponding registration fee: registered trademark fee: 1 yuan. If you entrust a trademark agency, It is necessary to pay the trademark agency fee around 1 yuan (the agency fee of our company is 8 yuan)

2. Apply for registration

1. Only individuals or groups with the following conditions can apply for trademark in China:

Applicants for trademark registration must be: legally established enterprises, institutions, social organizations, individual businessmen, individuals in partnership or signing agreements with China or China. When foreigners or foreign enterprises from countries that are parties to international treaties or deal with them according to the principle of reciprocity meet the above conditions and need to obtain the exclusive right to use a trademark, they shall file an application for trademark registration with the Trademark Office on a voluntary basis (since November 1, 21, China's Trademark Office has begun to accept applications for registered trademarks from natural persons).

2. Apply according to the classification of goods and services:

At present, China's trademark law implements the international classification of goods, which divides more than 1, kinds of goods and services into 45 categories, including 34 categories of goods and 11 categories of services. When applying for trademark registration, the categories of goods or services using the trademark should be determined according to the classification of goods and services. If the same applicant uses the same trademark on different categories of goods, he should apply for registration in different categories according to the classification of goods. This can avoid improper expansion of the application scope of trademark rights, and is also conducive to the approval of examiners and the protection of trademark exclusive rights.

3. Determination of trademark application date:

It is very important to determine the application date. Because the principle of prior application is adopted in trademark registration in China, once the application date occurs, it becomes the legal basis for determining the trademark right. The date of application for trademark registration is based on the date when the Trademark Office receives the application documents (the smallest unit of date is'' date'')

III. Trademark examination

Trademark examination is a series of activities such as inspection, data retrieval, analysis and comparison, investigation and study, and decision to give preliminary examination or reject the application.

IV. Announcement of preliminary examination

Trademark examination. And make an announcement in the Trademark Announcement. If no one raises any objection within three months from the date of publication of the preliminary examination and approval announcement, the trademark shall be registered and a registration announcement shall be published at the same time.

V. Announcement of Registration

Trademark registration is a trademark legal procedure. An application filed by an applicant for trademark registration shall be preliminarily examined and approved by the Trademark Office. If no objection is raised within three months or the objection is ruled invalid, the trademark shall become effective and protected by law, and the trademark registrant shall enjoy the exclusive right to use the trademark. It takes about one year to one and a half years for a trademark to be registered. The term of validity of a registered trademark is ten years, counting from the date of approval of registration. If the registered trademark expires and needs to be used continuously, it may apply for renewal of registration.

VI. Obtaining the Trademark Registration Certificate

If it is through an agent, the agent will send the Trademark Registration Certificate to the trademark registrant.

if a trademark is registered directly, the trademark registrant should go to the trademark office to obtain the certificate within three months after receiving the Notice of Obtaining the Trademark Registration Certificate, and should also bring:

(1) a letter of introduction to obtain the trademark registration certificate;

(2) the ID card of the witness and its copy;
