How to apply for trademark registration? Article 3 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Trademark Law stipulates that an applicant may entrust a trademark agency organization recognized by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to act as an agent or directly handle trademark registration applications and other related matters.
① Entrust an agency to act as an agent. From the second half of 1993, China stopped trademark transfer and fully implemented the trademark agency system. At present, there are 136 trademark agencies in China * * * providing comprehensive and professional trademark legal services for trademark applicants. Practice has proved that principal-agent has many advantages:
First, it is convenient and timely. The client may entrust a trademark agency to handle trademark affairs nearby.
The second is to save time and money, and the fees are reasonable. The applicant can save time and expenses for going back and forth to the Trademark Office. Trademark agencies charge fees in strict accordance with the provisions of the price department.
The third is to ensure quality and carry out on time. The agent has professional knowledge of trademarks, is familiar with the application procedures, acts in strict accordance with the authorized authority, and promptly conveys the opinions of the Trademark Office to the applicant to ensure the smooth progress of the application.
Fourth, it is convenient for obtaining certificates and correcting errors in time. The Trademark Office regularly sends the trademark registration certificate to the agency, and the registrant can get it by notice. If there is something wrong with the registration certificate, the agency can contact the Trademark Office to correct it.
Fifth, the files are sound and easy to manage and supervise. A trademark agency shall keep the application materials of the client and notify the registrant of trademark renewal. If the same or similar trademarks are found in the trademark announcement, the applicant will be contacted in time to provide assistance.
Sixth, it can provide foreign trademark registration services in time. According to international practice, when Chinese trademark applicants handle trademark affairs abroad, they must convey their applications to the authorities through foreign agencies. Domestic trademark agencies have close business ties with foreign agencies and can provide foreign trademark registration services in time.
② Direct treatment. Direct processing means that the trademark applicant directly applies for trademark registration at the Trademark Office. In addition to the advantages of agency, direct processing has some disadvantages.
First, the applicant needs to bring the official seal to the Trademark Office, which is easy to lose and is not conducive to the use of the unit;
Second, because the applicant is not familiar with trademark laws and regulations, he doesn't know how to deal with the problems in the application process:
Third, the Trademark Office contacts the applicant by mail. If the applicant's address is changed or unknown, the document cannot be delivered.
Fourthly, the applicant must bring relevant documents to the Trademark Office to obtain the trademark registration certificate.
Recommended reading: What if the trademark application is rejected? If the trademark is rejected, the General Administration of Trademarks will issue a Notice of Trademark Rejection. The applicant should first look at the reasons for the rejection, and then consider whether to review the rejection.
If the trademark of the applicant is rejected because it is the same as the trademark previously applied by others. Then the success rate of dismissing retrial is almost zero. If the prior applicant is indeed registered, it shall also handle the objections or disputes of the prior applicant's trademark application, and it is necessary to reject and review it. Therefore, for the trademark rejected for this reason, it is not recommended to conduct a rejection review.
If the applicant's trademark is rejected for violating the mandatory provisions. Should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Because there are many trademark examiners, the trademark rules have their own limitations, and the examiners are subjective, it is necessary to reject some rejected trademarks.
When it is determined that the reexamination can be rejected, it should be possible to cite a large number of similar cases, such as obvious reasons for rejection, so it is necessary to list the cases in which similar trademarks have been approved in multiple categories one by one, and explain the differences between them.
