1. Inquire through China Trademark Network (Trademark Registration Inquiry Network).
China Trademark Network provides six services: approximate trademark inquiry, comprehensive trademark inquiry, trademark status inquiry, trademark announcement inquiry, error information feedback and commodity/service items.
In trademark comprehensive inquiry, there are five inquiry methods: international classification number, application/registration number, trademark name and applicant name (in Chinese and English). To check whether it is registered, just use the "commodity name".
2. Check with the Trademark Office.
The applicant can directly go to the relevant administrative department of the Trademark Office for trademark inquiry.
First, the applicant should find the window of trademark registration, then get the trademark inquiry form, then fill in the trademark inquiry form correctly, and finally submit it to the window for inquiry.
3. Entrust an agency to make inquiries.
Entrust a trademark agency to inquire, just give the trademark name to the agency, and you can ask them to help you inquire.
If it is an entrusted agency, you can choose from the agencies registered with the Trademark Office. Entrusting an unregistered agency may bring some bad effects.
Trademark registration is a slow and professional process, and some trademarks may be registered for up to one year. Therefore, many enterprises and individuals will choose professional trademark registration agencies to reduce the time of trademark registration and achieve the purpose of efficient trademark registration.
