Prepare materials, prepare 1 pieces of trademark patterns (1 pieces of colored trademarks with specified colors, 1 piece of black-and-white ink draft), the length and width of which are not more than 1 cm and not less than 5 cm. If the direction of trademark patterns is unclear, the arrows shall be used to indicate the upper and lower parts; If an individual applies, he/she needs to show his/her ID card and submit a copy, plus a copy of his/her business license, and the business scope is consistent with the registered trademark; If an enterprise applies, a copy of the Business License of the enterprise shall be presented and submitted; An application for trademark registration with the official seal of the unit. Apply according to the classification of goods and services. At present, goods and services are divided into 45 categories, including 34 categories of goods and 11 categories of services. When applying for registration, the categories of goods or services that use trademarks shall be determined according to the classification of goods and services classification table; Where the same applicant uses the same trademark on different categories of goods, he shall apply for registration according to different categories. The determination of the date of application is the most important point: because China adopts the principle of prior application in trademark registration, once you have a trademark dispute with other enterprises, the enterprise with prior application date will be protected by law. Therefore, it is very important to establish the application date, which is based on the date when the Trademark Office receives the application. Then there are three procedures: trademark examination, preliminary examination announcement and registration announcement. It should be emphasized that a trademark that has passed the preliminary examination by the Trademark Office cannot be registered until three months after the announcement, and the trademark is protected by law. The period of validity of a registered trademark is ten years, counting from the date of approval of registration. If it is necessary to continue to use the trademark after the expiration of the validity period, it may apply for trademark renewal registration.
