Nearly 40% of Yibin's trademarks are idle, and an online trading platform will be set up to activate.
The number of registered trademarks in Yichang has increased by leaps and bounds. Yichang Industrial and Commercial Bureau revealed yesterday that as of June 30 this year, Yichang had 4 190 registered trademarks, but the data provided by the Trademark Office showed that Yichang had 26 17 valid registered trademarks and 573 invalid trademarks, accounting for nearly 40%. Cai Hong, Shang Guangke of Yichang Industrial and Commercial Bureau, said that the main reasons for the invalidation of the trademark include: the trademark 10 was not applied for after the expiration of its validity period, and it was not used for three consecutive years, which led to the invalidation of the trademark. Among these invalid trademarks, some enterprises regard the trademarks as' chicken ribs' after registration and fail to make good use of them; Some registered investors of professional trademarks failed to sell the trademarks successfully, resulting in the trademarks being idle and eventually invalid. At present, Yichang is actively exploring idle trademark transactions, such as the successful transfer of the' Honghuatao' trademark that has been idle for many years in Yidu City for 58,000 yuan. Making idle trademarks alive is not only conducive to protecting limited trademark resources, but also conducive to emerging enterprises to quickly launch their own brands and occupy the market. It takes a year and a half to two years for an enterprise to apply for a registered trademark, and the page may not be registered, but the transfer of the trademark can generally be completed within half a year. In order to make a large number of "sleeping" trademarks in Yichang alive, the Trademark Advertising Section of Yichang Administration for Industry and Commerce has established a trademark database, and plans to build an online trademark trading platform based on the portal website to build a trading bridge between the supply and demand sides.
