It is also a common phenomenon to register trademarks in bad faith. If you encounter an infringing trademark, you still need to use legal weapons to properly protect your own rights and interests. But in reality, when many people encounter problems, as long as it does not affect their own trademarks, most of them will choose to remain silent. But have you ever considered whether it will be too late to resolve conflicts in the future? I recommend that you know and understand basic trademark laws before registering a trademark, so as to protect your own rights and interests and not infringe on the rights of others!

The principle of Chinese trademarks is the principle of confusion. That is to say, if consumers are confused, the trademark cannot be registered. However, due to prior registration and some human review factors, preemptive registration Things like this happen from time to time, so what should you do if you encounter this kind of thing?

One of the most classic cases is the WeChat trademark case. The WeChat trademark was originally registered by a company in Shandong. Because it might cause confusion among consumers with Tencent’s WeChat, it was objected to and dropped. This It shows that at present, the principle of first use is being paid more and more attention!

Many self-media authors focus on hard work writing something, but when they have more and more fans, they may find that their name has been registered by others, so this What should I do?

In fact, there are many ways to deal with it. The most direct one is to object to the other party and prevent the other party from getting the certificate. If the other party gets the certificate, you can apply for invalidation because you have used it first and it has a certain impact. It is possible to invalidate the registration of squatters. Of course, if there is no impact and there are only a few hundred fans, then it will not work. If there are 6 digits of fans, the opponent will usually succeed in objecting and it is not difficult to declare the opponent invalid. Of course, This costs some money, and you can basically get it done for 2,000 yuan. Then just register yourself. ?

There is another way, which is to continue to use it without objecting to the other party's. This is also okay, because now there is also a prior use, but in this way, there will be multiple trademarks coexisting, and you have not registered it. , an inappropriate example is Daoxiang Village, both from Suzhou and Beijing. This is not illegal. If you have already had influence, even if the other party registers your trademark, your name can still be used. You just need to mark it sometimes when using it.

So, it is not a big deal if a trademark is registered by someone. Some bad people maliciously register the trademark and then scare others into transferring it at a high price. This is actually suspected of fraud. If the price is not high, it doesn’t matter. However, we suggest that self-media authors should apply for a trademark themselves so that we can protect you!
