The most important thing before trademark registration is trademark search. The search is to avoid being identical or similar to a previously applied trademark, which will lead to failure of trademark registration. It not only avoids the cost of trademark registration and waste of time , greatly improving efficiency. Many users who invest in trademarks have also encountered situations where the trademark registration application was not registered and the fees were not refunded.

So here everyone must learn how to query before submitting a registered trademark Trademarks to identify whether your own trademark is similar or identical to other people’s trademarks.

Everyone should adjust their mentality when searching for trademark registration, because the search is not 100% correct. When searching, don’t easily believe some claims about 100% success.

It’s better to be able to Listen carefully to the opinions or suggestions of professionals and make decisions carefully. Why does this happen? So let me tell you the following two points: On the one hand, there will be a blind period when updating the database in the Trademark Office. When is the blind period? The blind period is generally 4-6 months, and the data during this period cannot be queried! What's the flip side? On the other hand, the Trademark Office uses different examiners to review trademark registrations. Each examiner has a different understanding of trademark knowledge, so it is inevitable that they will have different understandings and understandings when judging a trademark. This leads to different review results.

So how to check if a trademark is similar or similar? Now I will teach you how to search for similar trademarks and register them. The specific ways to search for similar trademarks in trademark registration are as follows:

① There are two ways to search for similar trademarks. The first is to search for trademarks on the China Trademark Network. Of course, this kind of search requires a fee. How is it charged? ? Charging standards (Chinese trademark 60 yuan, English trademark 100 yuan, graphic trademark 120 yuan,).

Trademark registration inquiry is very important from the above point of view! Technical work is also complex and requires a long period of accumulation. Trademark search generally refers to trademark approximate search. The general trademark search process is as follows:

Trademark similarity means that similar trademarks applied for the same or similar goods or services will be determined to be similar. When conducting a trademark search, first confirm the specific trademark or service item. Why? Because everyone should know that there are 45 major categories in trademark classification, and there are many subcategories within a major category. Each similar category has many trademarks or service options, so the goods or services in a similar group are similar goods or services. Of course, there will also be some products that are similar across similar groups, depending on the specific situation.

The above is for everyone’s reference. There are several methods for determining similarity that can be used when searching for similar trademarks in China.
