I. Preparation for registration 1. Inquiring about the prior right of trademark registration: Inquiring refers to inquiring whether the trademark applied by the trademark registration applicant or his agent is the same as or similar to the trademark of the prior right before applying for registration.

It is worth noting that 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.

2. Preparation of trademark application materials: (1) If you apply in the name of a natural person, you need to show your ID card and submit a copy of your ID card.

To apply for registration with an enterprise as the applicant, it is necessary to produce a copy of the business license of the enterprise and provide a copy of the business license signed by the issuing authority.

A complete application for trademark registration, stamped with the official seal of the unit and personal signature.

(2) 10 trademark pattern (for color trademarks with specified colors, 10 color pattern and 1 black and white ink draft shall be submitted).

The provided trademark pattern must be clear and easy to stick, and replaced by bright and durable paper or photos, with the length and width not exceeding 10 cm and not less than 5 cm.

If the direction of the trademark pattern is not clear, it should be indicated by an arrow.

When applying for trademarks of cigarettes and cigars, the design can be as big as the actual use.

(3) Prepare the corresponding registration fee: registered trademark fee: 1 1,000 yuan+1 1,000 yuan trademark agency fee.

Only individuals or groups who meet the following conditions can apply for trademark registration in China: the applicant for trademark registration must be an enterprise, institution, social organization, individual businessman, foreigner or foreign enterprise from a country that has signed an agreement with China or acceded to an international treaty with China or handled it according to the principle of reciprocity. When the above conditions are met and the exclusive right to use a trademark is needed, apply for trademark registration to the Trademark Office on a voluntary basis (China's Trademark Office has accepted applications for registered trademarks from natural persons since 200 1 1).

2. Application by classification of goods and services: At present, China's trademark law implements international classification of goods, and divides 1 10,000 kinds of goods and services into 45 categories, including 34 categories of goods and services 1 1.

When applying for trademark registration, the category of goods or services using the trademark shall be determined according to the classification of goods and services. If the same applicant uses the same trademark on different kinds of goods, he should apply for registration according to the classification of goods, which can avoid the improper expansion of the scope of application of trademark rights, and is also conducive to the examination and approval of examiners and the protection of trademark exclusive rights. Because China's trademark registration adopts the principle of applying first, once the application date occurs, it will become the legal basis for determining the trademark right. The date of application for trademark registration shall be the date when the Trademark Office receives the application documents.
