With the frequent infringement incidents, entrepreneurs' awareness of protecting their intellectual property rights has gradually increased, and they have started to register trademarks and patents. What information do I need to register a trademark online? What should I pay attention to?
1. First of all, the applicant for trademark registration should be a natural person, legal person or other organization.
2. Trademarks applying for online registration include commodity trademarks, service trademarks, collective trademarks and certification trademarks.
3. When submitting an online application for trademark registration, the application documents shall be submitted using the prescribed file format, data standards, operation specifications and transmission methods, and the identity and subject qualification documents required for trademark registration application shall be uploaded as required.
An applicant for trademark registration may entrust a trademark registration agency registered in the Trademark Office to apply for trademark registration online. The relationship between the applicant and the trademark agency that submitted the online application for trademark registration is a trademark agency relationship.
5. The date of filing the online application for trademark registration is the date of entering the electronic system of the Trademark Office.
6. The materials submitted for online trademark registration shall be subject to the records in the database of the Trademark Office, except that the parties do have evidence to prove that the records in the database of the Trademark Office are wrong.
However, at present, the online application system of the State Trademark Office only accepts trademark registration agencies, and temporarily does not accept individuals or enterprises to apply for trademark registration online.

As important as trademarks, we often talk about patents. Unlike trademarks, patents protect inventions, artistic creations and unique ideas in technology or design. At present, China's patent law is gradually improving, but many people lack relevant knowledge. For entrepreneurs, especially those who create products, patent application is very important.
Most entrepreneurs also choose third-party organizations, so how to choose a reliable and safe platform when looking for third-party organizations? Entrepreneurs can remember the following points:
1. Regular agency companies will be published on the website of the Patent Office or the website of the Patent Agents Association. Entrepreneurs can first confirm the authenticity of these institutions and avoid being deceived by finding unqualified black intermediaries.
2. Don't reveal your technical secrets too much in the consulting stage to avoid being stolen.
3. After determining the platform, do a comprehensive understanding first, and then determine the agent.
4. Entrustment procedures at least include entrustment contract, confidentiality agreement or confidentiality clause, technical disclosure, etc. It is best to appoint an agent with full authority.
