Basic requirements for trademark registration: 1. A trademark is a mark that distinguishes the source of goods.

The trademark must be distinctive on the designated goods (or it may not be distinctive at the beginning, but it will become distinctive as a trademark after long-term and extensive use). It must not have any adverse effects, and it must not be inconsistent with the prior trademark. Rights conflict.

Trademark Office examiners also make basic evaluations of trademark registration applications based on these three points.

2. First-to-file protection is an important basic principle of trademark law. In the trademark registration application process, it is commonly known as first-come, first-served.

This is also the reason why many customers attach great importance to the application date.

If multiple people happen to apply for the same trademark on the same day, each applicant needs to submit evidence of prior use; if it is used on the same day or neither is used, each applicant can negotiate on their own and submit a written agreement. Trademark Office; if they are unwilling to negotiate or the negotiation fails, the Trademark Office will notify the Trademark Office to draw lots (you read that right, draw lots) to determine the ownership of the trademark.

If the Trademark Office has notified the applicant but fails to come to draw the lot on time, the application will be deemed to have been abandoned, and the Trademark Office shall notify the applicant who did not participate in the draw of the result in writing.
