1. Selection of registration method:
One is to go to the State Trademark Office (the office is in Beijing) for trademark registration (China Trademark Law allows its citizens to apply for trademark registration directly to the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce).
Another way is to entrust an experienced trademark agency to provide you with trademark agency services. This will save you a lot of time and energy. Of course, the other party will charge the corresponding service fee.
2. Check the trademark registration right before registration:
Although trademark inquiry is not a necessary procedure for registered trademarks (following the principle of voluntary inquiry), this work can greatly reduce the risk of trademark registration and improve the certainty of trademark registration. In the process of inquiry, due to the influence of data processing and trademark application review period, some previously applied trademarks cannot enter the database, so it is impossible to inquire and retrieve this information.
In addition, trademark inquiry and examination are undertaken by different personnel, and inquirers and different examiners may have different opinions on the examination point of view. Therefore, the trademark query results cannot be used as a legal basis and have no legal effect.
Therefore, it is very important to find a professional trademark inquiry company or a trademark agency with perfect trademark inquiry conditions before registering a trademark.
Post-maintenance:
If it goes well, it will take about 13- 18 months. You can keep an eye on the progress of the trademark at any time and ask an agent to check it for you six months after submitting the application. If there are similarities or similarities, we need to make another plan as soon as possible, which can save time and avoid causing greater losses. In addition, if the applicant's address or name changes, the trademark should also be changed in time.
