1) A copy of "Application for Trademark Registration"
The application should be stamped with the applicant's seal. If the applicant is a natural person, the application form should be signed by the applicant with a pen or signature pen, and the applicant's ID number should be marked after the applicant's name. The name and address of foreign applicants should be filled in both Chinese and English. Other characters are not allowed, such as the characters of the applicant’s country of origin (non-Chinese and English). If an agent is entrusted, the application form does not need to be stamped with the applicant's seal or signed by the applicant, but it must be stamped with the seal of the agency organization and the agent should sign at the same time.
***If you are applying to register the same trademark, you should designate a representative in the application; if there is no designated representative, the first person listed in order in the application will be the representative. When filling in the application form specifically, fill in the name and address of the representative in the applicant name and applicant address columns, and other names with the applicant are listed in the attached page (addresses are not required). At the same time, a statement should be made on the first page of the application form. This application is a separate application. The representative shall stamp or sign on the first page, and all other applicants must stamp or sign on the attached pages of the application. The Trademark Office will only contact the representative in subsequent procedures, and the representative's actions will be deemed to have obtained the consent of all patent applicants.

The name and address of the trademark registration applicant should be consistent with the documents submitted (natural persons can fill in the actual address).

The trademark pattern must be clear and easy to paste, printed on smooth and durable paper or replaced with a photo. The length or width should be no more than 10 cm and no less than 5 cm. When applying for trademark registration of cigarettes or cigars, the trademark drawing submitted can be the same size as the actual cigarette label.
Since all applications now have to be scanned and entered into the computer, the drawings are required to be clear, with clear black and white contrast, and without any blur. For the black and white draft required for trademarks with specified colors, applicants often simply copy the color drawing and attach it, which is often unclear. Therefore, the black and white draft should be plated separately to produce a clear black and white drawing.
(4) Several special types of trademarks
1. Three-dimensional logo (three-dimensional trademark)
If you apply for a registered trademark with a three-dimensional logo (three-dimensional trademark), you should Make a statement in the application and submit a drawing that can determine the three-dimensional shape, that is, provide an overall rendering of the sign. The number of images in the pattern can be determined according to the shape of the three-dimensional logo. It can be the main view of the three-dimensional figure, or it can include all or several of its six views, but it must be made on one piece of paper and meet the aforementioned size requirements.
2. Color combination trademark
If you apply for a registered trademark with a color combination, you should declare it in the application and provide a text explanation, such as a color mark.

(5) Trademark description
If the trademark is in a foreign language or contains a foreign language, it should be explained in the "Trademark Description" column of the application form. If the foreign language is a meaningless letter combination, it should be explained that it has no meaning; if it is composed of a meaningful foreign language, its main meaning should be explained. Do not describe the meaningful foreign language as a meaningless letter combination. Some trademarks are composed of foreign languages ??and are accompanied by some advertising or descriptive text, which should be stated in the trademark description.
If the registered trademark contains artistic or cursive fonts in both Chinese and foreign languages, the standard writing method of the text should be explained so that the examiner can identify it. If there are similar issues such as the need to waive exclusive rights in the trademark drawing, a statement should be made in this column. .
VI) Product names and service items
Whether the product name and service items are filled out in a specific and standardized way, and whether the classification is accurate, is a very important link in the trademark registration application process. It not only determines whether the application can be successfully accepted and enters substantive examination, but also relates to the scope of protection of the exclusive right of the applied trademark.
Since January 1, 2002, my country has begun to adopt the eighth edition of the "International Classification of Goods and Services for Trademark Registration" (Nice Classification). At the same time, the Trademark Office has revised the "Similar Goods and Services" based on the above classification table. Service Classification Table". The applicant should fill in the goods and services in accordance with the aforementioned classification table and distinction table. When filling in the name of the goods or services, the applicant should fill in the sequence number according to the quantity of the goods/services filled in.
When applying for trademark registration, one application is limited to one trademark and one category. Different applications should be submitted for different categories of goods or services.
For product names or service items that are not listed in the classification table, avoid using vague, over-general, and insufficient product or service names to classify the categories, and refer to the following principles:
1. Principles of classification of goods
(1) In principle, finished products are classified according to their functions and uses, taking into account the raw materials used, operating methods, production departments, sales channels and products. Consumption habits, etc.;
(2) Raw materials, unprocessed or semi-finished products are in principle classified according to their raw materials (for example, there are 6 categories of metal building materials and 19 categories of non-metal building materials);
(3) When finished products or semi-finished products are classified according to their raw materials, if they are made of several different raw materials, they should in principle be classified according to their main raw materials (for example, 30 categories of rice with fish);
(4) The product forms part of other products and cannot be used for other purposes under normal circumstances. In principle, it is classified into the same category as other products (for example, telephone receivers and telephones are in the same category 9);
(5) Containers such as boxes and boxes specially used to hold goods are in principle classified into the same category as the goods (for example, golf bags and golf balls are classified into the same category28).
2. Classification principles of service items
(1) In principle, services are classified according to the industries divided by the service classification name and its annotation;
( 2) Services in the rental industry are, in principle, classified into the same category as services provided through rentals (such as rental telephones, which are classified in category 38);
(3) Providing advice, information or consultation In principle, services fall into the same category as the matters involved in providing services, such as transportation consulting category 39, business management consulting category 35, financial consulting category 36, and beauty consulting category 44. Providing advice, information or services by electronic means (such as telephone, computer) Consultation does not affect the classification of this service.
3. For some domestic and foreign new products and complex commodities that are difficult to classify, a product manual must be attached, including the main components, functions, uses, etc. of the product, and physical photos of the product should be attached as much as possible. .
4. The translation of product or service names should be accurate, simple and clear, especially for highly professional product or service names. The wording should be as standardized as possible and consistent with Chinese customs. Some foreign product names are often preceded by very long attributives or modifiers, which can easily lead to non-standard, non-specific or even cross-category situations. In this case, the agent cannot just act as a translator, but should carefully consider it. Goods can be classified into appropriate categories, standardized and specific.
If you want to register a trademark, it is recommended that you don’t go for cheap and register with agencies that are not very standardized. I have suffered this loss, so I don’t want my friends around me to take the same path.
