Trademark registration system has become a common system in most countries in the world, especially in countries with civil law system, and the voluntary principle of trademark registration makes registered trademarks and unregistered trademarks coexist in countries that implement the registration principle. Moreover, due to the complexity of trademark registration procedures in different degrees, the number of unregistered trademarks far exceeds that of registered trademarks, so many people now start to register trademarks after realizing the importance of trademark registration, but everyone is likely to be rejected. Next, intellectual property will tell you about the reasons for trademark rejection and how to deal with it.
first, the trademark inquiry is not in place. Most trademarks are declared through intellectual property agents. If the agent's inquiry is not detailed, it is very likely that the trademark will be rejected first. Prior to this, Linger also said that in trademark registration, applicants should make more service comparisons while comparing prices. Although the agency is not omnipotent, a good agency company can avoid unnecessary rejection of trademarks and relatively reduce the risk of rejection through rich experience in inquiry and practice.
second, the prohibition and prohibition of trademarks. Trademark lacks distinctiveness, exaggerated publicity, adverse effects, etc. For example, teapot is the common name of tea set, which is used as a trademark and lacks significance; Vertical beverage is used for beverage, which only directly indicates the use characteristics of the product and cannot be used as a trademark; Therefore, before submitting an application, you must consult a professional agent to avoid risks for the enterprise.
Third, we encountered a blind search period. Trademark rights are uniformly reviewed by China National Intellectual Property Administration Trademark Office, so it is impossible for the Trademark Office to input all trademarks into the system on the same day, and the query is data from 1-2 months ago. If the trademark that the applicant wants to apply for is applied for the day before, then this kind of risk is inevitable, because the agent can't inquire, even if the secretary inquires, the result will be the same. With the increase in the number of trademark applications, there are more and more cases of blind search, so Biaomei reminds everyone that when applying for a trademark, after the name is determined, you should submit a trademark application to the Trademark Office as soon as possible, and don't follow the trend to apply for online buzzwords and hot words.
In a word, no matter what the reason, if the trademark is rejected, don't give it up completely. There is still hope for the trademark to be redeemed, and you can win the opportunity again through the trademark rejection review. The prerequisite is to analyze the success rate of re-examination according to the reasons in the rejected documents, and strive for it if it can be re-examined. If it cannot be re-examined, the agent will put forward reasonable analysis suggestions in combination with the actual situation of the enterprise. According to the data, from the analysis of past cases of rejection and re-examination, about 65% of trademarks were obtained after re-examination. Therefore, even if the trademark is rejected, there is some hope. You can find an agent to provide an appropriate solution!
the above is the reason query of trademark rejection and how to deal with it? I hope I can help you. If you need to transfer trademarks, you can apply for intellectual property rights. Intellectual property rights have a variety of high-quality trademarks for you to choose from.
