How many fraudulent means are there in trademark registration?

1, low-cost registration

Due to fierce competition, some Shenzhen trademark registration agencies have launched low-priced or even negative-priced agents. The State Trademark Office will charge a fixed fee every time it accepts a trademark, and the agency itself also has operating costs. If the charge of a single trademark agency is lower than the reference price, there will be operational difficulties.

It may lead to bankruptcy after one or two years, so the follow-up service of the enterprise will be unsustainable, which will directly affect the trademark right of the enterprise. Therefore, those with low fees are seriously suspected. Especially those newly established trademark companies, without any strength, are easy to close down.

2. Ask for fees many times after application.

Many agencies ask for handling fees, production fees and license fees when the applicant receives the Notice of Acceptance and the Trademark Registration Certificate, and pay them repeatedly. A few agencies solicit business at extremely low prices, and then charge various fees to enterprises.

3. Lies about updates

Before the renewal, the validity period of cheating enterprises to take money to renew the bid is ten years. Obviously, it has not expired, but it seriously tells the enterprise that the trademark expires and needs to be renewed immediately, otherwise it will be fined several thousand yuan if it is late.

Step 4 disappear out of thin air

After receiving the money, it will not be reported to the State Trademark Office out of thin air, because it takes a long time to register a trademark, more than two years. It takes a long time for a swindler agency to register a trademark. After receiving enough money from the enterprise, it will not be reported to the Trademark Office. After a while, the whole office evaporated and disappeared.

5. Low price attraction

Many agencies ask for handling fees, production fees and license fees when the applicant receives the Notice of Acceptance and the Trademark Registration Certificate, and pay them repeatedly. A few agencies solicit business at extremely low prices, and then charge various fees to enterprises.

Mr. Trademark suggested that you must find a formal agency, otherwise it would not be worth the loss.

Matters needing attention in trademark registration:

1, trademark registration priority strategy:

The first registration is beneficial to the protection of trademarks. Article 4 of China's Trademark Law stipulates: "If a natural person, legal person or other organization needs to obtain the exclusive right to use a trademark for the goods it produces, manufactures, processes, selects and distributes, it shall apply to the Trademark Office for trademark registration of the goods. Where a natural person, legal person or other organization needs to obtain the exclusive right to use a trademark for the services it provides, it shall apply to the Trademark Office for registration of a service trademark.

2. Creative strategy of trademark design;

There are many kinds of trademark patterns, which can be designed by combining trademarks and distinctive trademarks. According to Article 8 of the Trademark Law: "Any visible sign that can distinguish the goods of natural persons, legal persons or other organizations from the goods of others, including words, graphics, letters, numbers, three-dimensional signs and color combinations, and the combination of the above elements, can apply for registration as a trademark."

A trademark can be composed of six elements: words, figures, letters, numbers, three-dimensional signs and colors. How to design and choose the best scheme needs careful consideration.

3. The renewal strategy of trademark registration: to prevent the expiration and cancellation of trademarks.

After the trademark is registered, not everything is fine. It should be updated every 10 year. If the insurance is not renewed within the renewal period, it will be cancelled and no longer protected. Many trademarks in China were cancelled because they missed the renewal.
