Individuals can apply for trademark registration according to law. ? I. What is the difference between trademark registration and natural person registration and legal person registration? There are the following differences between trademark registration and natural person registration: 1. The materials provided by different legal persons are business licenses and corresponding official seals; A natural person applying for a registered trademark provides the business license of an individual industrial and commercial household and the ID card of the person in charge, and signs it. 2. The scope of protection is different. If you apply for a registered trademark in the name of a legal person, the scope of application for protection is not limited by the business scope; Where an application is made in the name of a natural person, the scope of application for protection shall be consistent with the business scope on the license of individual industrial and commercial households. 3. The stability of trademark rights is different. When applying for a registered trademark in the name of a legal person, when the license information changes, the trademark registration certificate should apply for corresponding changes; The identity card of a natural person is generally unchanged, so it is relatively stable. 4. Trademark ownership dominates the use of registered trademarks of different legal persons by the company's articles of association; The rights of natural persons to register trademarks are relatively concentrated. 2. Can individuals apply for trademark registration? Individuals can apply for trademark registration according to law. I remind you that according to the provisions of China's Trademark Law, if a natural person, legal person or other organization needs to obtain the exclusive right to use a trademark for its goods or services in production and business activities, it shall apply to the Trademark Office for trademark registration. An application for registration of a malicious trademark that is not intended for use shall be rejected. The provisions of this Law on commodity trademarks shall apply to service trademarks.

No matter whether it is passed or not, the fee will not be refunded. 5. Waiting for the review of the Trademark Office. 6. Publicity period.
