In the early days of starting a business, we also encountered such a problem. If the trademark was not registered, we would face infringement problems in the future. All the promotion and branding we put in would be a wedding dress for others. Therefore, whether to register a trademark or not, of course you must! There is no doubt about it.
How to register? A lot of people have trouble. It’s difficult to look at it from the outside. Initially, we also found a trademark registrar, a certain Bajie. They advertised that it would take ten days to get the registration certificate, how many people had been hired, etc. It was very attractive. , the publicity on the official website seems to be quite reliable.
We got in touch because our logo design is image + English + Chinese. They said that they should cover it and remove the image, because the image seems to be repetitive and very popular. If you want to cover it, you must remove it.... We couldn't bear it because we liked this image, so we looked for a few here and there, and they all Almost the same, the cost varies.
On a whim, I went to the Trademark Office. OMG, I realized how simple the steps are and how unreliable the agents online are. The following is my registration process, and the official statement from the Trademark Office staff!
1. Find out the industry category and classification number of your company.
2. There is a standard paper document for trademark application online and at the Trademark Office. It is only two pages. Fill it out according to the instructions and print it in black and white.
3. Bring the application form, official seal and money to the Trademark Office (the China Trademark Building, Building 1, Chama South Street, the one in Sanlihe has been moved!!!)
4 .There is someone on the far left after entering the main entrance accepting applications. (If you don’t know how to fill it out, ask! If you don’t know anything else, ask! - There is a consultation window)
5. The staff have the same assembly line, pass a few steps, I remember whether it is three or four steps, pay the money, and wait for the news .
6. Done! Come on, I've been in there for less than fifteen minutes, and it's over before I even cover myself up to keep warm in the winter.
