Hello.

Copyright and trademark are actually two different things, and you can apply for a trademark again.

1. Choice of registration method:

One is to go to the State Trademark Office to handle trademark registration matters yourself (China’s Trademark Law allows citizens of the country to directly register with the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce Apply for trademark registration). Another way is to entrust an experienced trademark agency organization to provide you with trademark agency services. This will save you a lot of time and energy. Of course, the other party will charge corresponding agency fees.

2. Inquiry on the prior registration rights of a trademark (not a required procedure):

Trademark inquiry refers to the trademark registration applicant or his agent’s inquiry before filing an application for registration. Check whether the trademark applied for is identical or similar to the previously owned trademark. It is worth noting that although trademark search is not a required procedure for registering a trademark (following the principle of voluntary search), this work can greatly reduce the risks of trademark registration and improve the certainty of trademark registration. During the query process, due to factors such as data processing and trademark application review periods, some previously applied trademarks cannot be entered into the database, so this part of the information cannot be retrieved. In addition, the trademark search and examination work is undertaken by different personnel, and the search personnel and different examiners may have different opinions on the examination. Therefore, the results of the trademark search cannot be regarded as a legal basis and have no legal effect. Therefore, before registering a trademark, it is very important to find a professional trademark search company or a trademark agency organization with complete trademark search conditions.

3. Preparation of trademark application materials:

1. If the application is made in the name of a natural person, you must present your ID card and submit a copy of your identity. If you are applying for registration with an enterprise as the applicant, you must present a copy of the enterprise's "Business License" and a copy of the "Business License" signed by the issuing authority. A completed trademark registration application form with the official seal of the unit and a personal signature.

2. The relevant name of the trademark and 10 trademark drawings (for a color trademark with a specified color, 10 colored drawings and 1 black and white ink drawing should be submitted). The trademark pattern provided must be clear and easy to paste. It must be on smooth and durable paper or replaced by a photo. The length and width must be no more than 10 cm and no less than 5 cm. If the direction of the trademark pattern is unclear, arrows should be used to indicate the top and bottom. When applying for a cigarette or cigar trademark, the image can be as large as the actual one used. (ps: If the trademark applied for registration is a portrait of a person, a notarized statement from the portrait owner agreeing to register the portrait as a trademark should be attached.)

In fact, the cost of applying for a trademark as an agent is not high. It is recommended to find an agency to apply. If necessary, you can send a private message for consultation.
