As long as you apply for a trademark on a regular website, there will be no problem, or it may be more convenient to apply on Dr. Biao. In fact, now that the Internet is so developed, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished. On the contrary, unreliability would have appeared more than ten years ago. Because technology is becoming more and more advanced now, there is no need to worry too much.

To give you some tips, some issues that need to be paid attention to when applying for a trademark:

1. The color of the trademark applied for registration

Most registered trademarks are black and white Color, after successful registration, the color can be used as desired, and you can match it however you want. However, if you apply for a color trademark from the beginning, after the registration certificate is issued, you must strictly follow the verification and approval of the registered trademark and must not change it. Therefore, the editor recommends applying for a black and white trademark to avoid subsequent problems.

2. The font of the trademark applied for registration

We all know that Chinese characters have a long history of development and there are many types of fonts and forms. Therefore, in trademark management, we generally insist on using whatever font is registered. The principle of fonts does not affect the normal use of the trademark if there is little change. For example, if the registered font is a handwritten font but in use it is a printed font.

3. Trademark description

3.1 When submitting a trademark application, if the Chinese or English language is an artistic design, the formal writing method needs to be stated.

3.2 If it is a combined application in English and Chinese, and there is a similar application in English, we can link it with the Chinese when we write the description. The Chinese language is mainly used for identification, which will improve the English. Pass rate.

3.3 Many customers like to add suffixes related to products or services. For example, **Optoelectronics, registered on LED lights, generally gives up the exclusive right to "Optoelectronics", but if the trademark ** Optoelectronics is registered on products that have nothing to do with optoelectronics. Sometimes even giving up the exclusive rights is of no use, and the entire trademark may be rejected because the two words are inappropriate. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to add these suffixes. First register the text with significant parts. After the application is successful, these suffixes can be added and used.

4. Select specific product items

Trademarks are divided into 45 categories, and the "Service and Goods Classification Table" is a tool book used to help select specific product items. , the principle of domestic trademark registration in China is that when a trademark is applied for registration in a category, one application form must be submitted, which is called one form, one category. To apply for registration of a trademark in two categories, submit two application forms, and so on.

When registering a trademark in a category, you can choose 10 product items. First, when choosing a product, choose the product you mainly make. We call it the "core product", and then expand the scope of protection. Each major small group chooses a product for enclosure protection. Another advantage of having more groups is that if some products are rejected, some products can still get certificates.

(Note: If more than 10 product items are selected for a trademark in a category, the Trademark Office will charge an additional item fee for each additional item.)

To apply for trademark registration, the process is roughly It takes 13 months. China's trademark law is based on the principle of first-to-file protection, that is, whoever applies first belongs to whom. Therefore, it is better to apply for trademark registration as early as possible! Maybe the trademark registration collected in this article today is not comprehensive enough. I will share more experience posts in the future, hoping to help friends in need.
