Can industrial and commercial administration departments at all levels handle trademark registration?

The industrial and commercial administration departments at all levels usually cannot handle trademark registration directly. Trademark registration is managed and handled by a specialized trademark office or intellectual property office.

In China, trademark registration is handled by the National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA). CNIPA is an administrative agency specifically responsible for intellectual property-related matters, responsible for the management and protection of intellectual property rights such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.

Other countries and regions also have similar specialized agencies responsible for trademark registration services, such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in the United States, the European Patent Office (EUIPO) in the European Union, etc.

Industrial and commercial administration departments at all levels may assume other roles and responsibilities during the trademark registration process, such as assisting the Trademark Office in supervising trademark use and investigating and punishing trademark infringements. However, the power to directly handle trademark registration business usually belongs to specialized trademark agencies.

Therefore, if you intend to apply for trademark registration, you should submit a trademark registration application to a specialized trademark office or intellectual property office in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the country or region where you are located, and handle it in accordance with its procedures and requirements. .
