In recent days, I have received frequent phone calls from my friends, and all of them are crying the same thing: Sisi, my trademark was rejected. Shit! Others submitted it a few days before me, and the key is me! First! Use! Yes! I didn't find it when I checked it at that time! Bla, bla, I can only look up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle and say lightly: Dude, you have a blind check period. ?

blind check period? ! What is a blind investigation period? Why is there such a bad thing? Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down and listen to me slowly:

The blind search period is called blind period for short. Why is there a blind period? First of all, the trademark application information of the whole country will be entered into the database system of the Trademark Office by the brothers and sisters of the Trademark Office. In theory, the best situation is that the application information of the day will be entered into the system on the same day, so that it can be queried in real time. However, because there are too many trademarks applied for every day in the country, the brothers and sisters of the Trademark Office have no superhuman powers, so there is a gap from the theoretical best value entered on the same day. At present, what can be achieved is that the declaration of the day may take about 4 months to be entered, so, you see, this gap value is the heartbreaking trademark blind period! Because the trademark application information is not entered into the system, you can't find the latest registered trademark information for about 4 months.

Next, let's take a look at the pains that happen to users of Zhiguo.

This is the pain that my Lenovo Star classmate encountered in rushing to the exam network. The other party applied on July 9, 212, but his application was blind on September 25, and now it has been rejected. Next, this buddy who invited me to eat sheep scorpion was even more sad. Beijing Weimi Technology registered four Internet categories: 9, 35, 38 and 42, which is the Internet trademark we mentioned in the last program. Door? Set meal gate? Advertising, APP, communication, internet services, look very professional, right? But the problem came. He registered in two times. The first registration of Category 9 was on December 8, 214, and the second registration of Categories 35, 38 and 42 was in January. So, the tragedy happened? On December 24th, 214, three categories, namely 35 categories, 38 categories and 42 categories, were registered first by Beijing Beilou Technology Company. In just a few days, three major categories missed him. There are too many such cases, so I won't list them one by one.

Knowing the blind period, you should understand the following things:

First of all, because the latest trademark information can't be found for about 4 months, theoretically all trademark registrations are at risk of being rejected. Maybe someone submitted an application the day before you, so I'm going to take a look at science here. Whoever tells you that the trademark registration is 1% successful in the future must be a liar, remember.

Then, I have repeatedly reminded you not to suffer from procrastination. Submit the trademark as soon as possible, otherwise, you can call me again at that time, and I can only borrow a shoulder to wipe your nose and tears.

Finally, we also want to thank our brothers and sisters in the Trademark Office. We know that you are really hard, and you are dealing with countless trademark applications all day. We expect our Trademark Office to upgrade its system and expand its personnel. After all, at this time when the tide of innovation is coming, many people of insight regard trademark registration as a top priority, and we are all waiting for trademark certificates to open up the market! If one day the information can be made public on the day of submission, then we will collectively praise my bid bureau!

In short, there is a blind period for trademark application, so you should act immediately if you think about it, or you will regret it. trade mark registration
