Last time I talked about the importance of brand registration. Many students still have some questions. So today we will simply review the process of brand registration:

Materials required:

Trademark Registration Letter of Attorney

Product Name

The earliest date of use of the trademark in the United States/world, and proof thereof.

FAQ:

1. How long does it take for a U.S. trademark to be examined?

It usually takes 15 days to get the electronic acceptance letter, and 10 to 18 months to get the trademark certificate.

2. What is the duration of a U.S. trademark?

It must be renewed every 10 years. But remember, you need to submit an application for a declaration of continued use in the 5th to 6th year after the registration of the trademark. We also provide renewal reminders and services. Choose Lingrui and you will have lifelong worry-free.

3. What are the classifications of U.S. trademarks?

It is divided into two categories: product trademarks and service trademarks.

4. Can an individual register a trademark?

Dear, of course you can. You can register a trademark directly in your own name. The trademark applied for in your own name belongs to the individual and can also be authorized to a company for use.

5. What is the reason for unsuccessful trademark registration?

a. A trademark has a 1-3 month announcement period. During this period, your peers can raise objections to your trademark. We have no way to control the behavior of third parties. However, even if the other party objects, we still have a great chance of getting the certificate.

b. The trademark search blind period means that newly applied trademarks will not be immediately entered into the Trademark Office’s system, and some newly applied trademarks cannot be searched.

c. The knowledge structure and background of trademark examination staff are not uniform, and the examiners' subjective analysis and judgment abilities vary. Their examination results are completely different. The judgment of identical and similar trademarks ultimately depends on the examination results of the Trademark Office.

6. Can I get a refund if I cannot get the certificate?

You need to pay the U.S. Trademark Office when you submit your application. Even if the trademark application is unsuccessful, the fee is non-refundable.

7. Once the acceptance notice comes down, will the trademark be granted for sure?

No. The acceptance notice only proves that the trademark application has been accepted by the national bureau. The trademark still needs to go through two stages: substantive examination and announcement procedures.

8. My trademark has been registered in the country and I have obtained a certificate. Can I use it in the United States?

No way. At present, trademarks approved for registration by my country's Trademark Office are only protected within the mainland. Even Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are not protected, let alone the United States?
