Expenses that cannot be omitted when using Taizhou tea trademarks

Tea is used to make tea and is one of the three major beverages in the world. It has a long history in China and was discovered and used very early. Later, the drinking of tea also varied according to the seasons in different places. Regarding the category of tea trademarks, how should you choose?

Similarly, through the trademark encyclopedia query, we can quickly know that the category of tea trademarks is mainly in Class 30-3002-tea and tea beverages. This sub-category contains almost all tea and some varieties of tea, etc., involving many categories.

In the use of trademarks in Taizhou, there are many expenses that cannot be omitted. Trademarks are intangible assets of enterprises. Naturally, obtaining it requires paying a certain fee, but this is definitely not an equivalent exchange, because later trademarks The value will be more than a little of the upfront costs, which are, in order, trademark agency fees, trademark search fees, copyright registration fees, trademark change fees, and trademark renewal fees.

Let’s talk about trademark agency fees first. Registering a trademark by yourself can indeed save an agency fee, but the applicant lacks professional trademark knowledge and does not understand the risks that may be encountered in trademark application. Some risks can be avoided with reasonable methods, which will lead to the failure of trademark application. Moreover, fees will not be refunded if trademark registration fails, thus causing huge cost losses to the applicant.

The second is the trademark search fee. Before applying for a trademark, detailed inquiries must be made. Although it is not a hard and fast rule, it is already a common practice. The purpose is to know whether there is an identical or similar trademark that has been previously applied for or registered, thereby reducing the risk of trademark rejection.

The copyright registration fee refers to the specific situation. If the registered trademark is a graphic and the graphic is highly original, then the copyright can be registered when applying for the trademark. After the copyright registration is completed, if someone registers and uses this graphic in other industries, he or she can cancel the registered trademark with the Trademark Office on the grounds of copyright infringement.

Trademark change fees. There are not many cases where a registered trademark is revoked because of failure to make trademark changes in time. Many people may change their company address and company name during the use of trademarks but forget to make trademark changes. At this time, if someone files an application for cancellation of their registered trademark , and if the trademark registrant fails to receive the documents issued by the Trademark Office on time, he will miss the defense deadline and cause the trademark to be revoked.

Then there are the trademark renewal fees. The validity period of a trademark is ten years. The trademark registrant must renew the trademark within twelve months before the trademark expires, and must also pay a certain fee. The cost of trademark renewal is much higher than that of trademark application. Some trademark registrants want to wait until the trademark expires and reapply for registration. However, once the trademark expires, the Trademark Office will cancel the trademark on the grounds that the applicant voluntarily abandoned the trademark. At the same time, some trademark registrations were approved later, and the enterprises lost more than they gained.

So in the process of trademark use, not only should these fees not be ignored, but at specific times, corresponding fees must be paid according to the actual prescribed time. This is a conclusion drawn from the accumulation of previous experience, so companies need to pay special attention to these when using trademarks.
