Although the poster has many questions, it is really nothing more than one question: How to protect the copyright of your logo from being registered as a trademark by others?

Answer:

1. If you want to prevent your trademark from being registered as a trademark by others, you can only apply for trademark registration. It takes 2 and a half years from application to successful registration of a trademark.

During this period the trademark appeared in two states.

1. TM means the trademark under application

Time of use: from the time of receiving the acceptance notice to receiving the registration certificate.

How to use: Mark in the upper right corner of the trademark.

The trademark at this time is not enough to prevent others from using your trademark.

2. A circle with R indicates a trademark that has been registered and protected by the Trademark Law.

Time of use: Start from the time you get the registration certificate.

How to use: Mark in the upper right corner of the trademark.

At this time, if you find that other people are using your logo or graphics similar to your logo, you can ask the Industry and Commerce Bureau to order you to stop using it immediately. You can object to the trademark under application until the date it is announced. .

There are two ways to register a trademark

1. Go to the Beijing Trademark Office and apply for it yourself.

Advantages: safe, low application fee, just pay State fees and inquiry fees are sufficient.

Disadvantages: The cost of traveling is high and time-consuming.

Fees: The application fee is 1,200 yuan plus travel expenses of at least 1,800 yuan.

2. Entrust an agency in Beijing to apply.

Advantages: Compared with your local trademark agency, we can submit documents more quickly, realize same-day declaration, and strive for an early application date.

However, local trademark submissions are submitted by mail, which does not have the advantage of us in terms of time.

Cost: 1,700 yuan (no need to come to Beijing, everything is done electronically, saving time and effort)

2. Register copyright. It is not necessary. Copyright registration cannot effectively protect the trademark itself, and each has a different scope of protection.

3. You currently have no personal website, no industrial and commercial license, no self-employed business license, no products, and no business income. These are just small thoughts and will not affect your registered trademark at all.
