Many friends who have opened physical stores have not registered the name of the store for a long time, so it is easy for the name of the store to be registered, resulting in their own infringement. Therefore, it is best to do a good job of trademark registration before opening the store and protect the name of the store first.

The process of registering a trademark for a store name can be roughly divided into the following steps:

1. Trademark inquiry

Enter the store name into the official website of the Trademark Office for approximate investigation. For example, if you are engaged in catering, you can inquire whether there are 43 kinds of trademarks similar to your store name registered, and if so, you'd better change it. If your store name has already been registered, you can also consider buying this trademark directly, so there is no risk of rejection of registration.

2. Submit an application

Prepare the trademark pattern, self-employed license or enterprise business license, trademark application, etc., and go to the agency of the Trademark Office or entrust an agency to register the trademark yourself.

3. Examination by the Trademark Office

After the Trademark Office accepts the application, it will conduct an examination, and there will be an announcement if it passes the examination. If it fails, there will be a notice of rejection, and the applicant can prepare materials according to the notice of rejection and then conduct a rejection review.

4. Announcing the issuance of the certificate

After the approval, the Trademark Office will make a public announcement in official website, and there will be a publicity period of three months, during which the certificate can be issued smoothly if it is not objected.

if the name of the store is a registered trademark, you should provide your ID card, business license, trademark name and business address to the trademark office. Register a trademark 811 yuan.
