What's the difference between handling directly and entrusting a trademark agency? Which way is faster?
There is no difference between these two methods in trademark registration application and examination. The main difference is that the contact information is different and the way of submitting books and documents is slightly different.

In terms of contact information, if you go directly to the Trademark Office, the applicant will contact the Trademark Office directly during the handling process; Where a trademark agency is entrusted, the applicant shall contact the Trademark Office through the trademark agency in the process of handling, instead of directly contacting the Trademark Office.

As for the documents submitted, if they are handled directly in the Trademark Office, in addition to other documents that should be submitted, the applicant should also submit a copy of the agent's identity card; Where a trademark agency is entrusted, the applicant shall, in addition to other documents, submit a power of attorney to entrust a trademark agency to handle trademark registration affairs.

In the way of submitting documents, if the applicant handles it by himself, the applicant or agent shall submit the application documents directly to the acceptance window of the trademark registration hall; Trademark agencies can submit application documents to the Trademark Office directly, by mail or through courier companies, and can also submit applications for trademark registration through the online application system.

In the way of document delivery, if the applicant handles it himself, the documents of the Trademark Office will be delivered directly to the parties concerned; Where a trademark agency is entrusted, the documents shall be served on the trademark agency.
