First of all, it is possible to register a trademark only with English letters and words. According to the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China, including words, letters, numbers, three-dimensional signs, graphics, colors, sounds, etc., can be applied for trademarks, as well as the combination of various elements, can also be applied for registration as trademarks. Just from the current point of view, the letter trademark application may be rejected more and more odds! Letter trademark is easy to be rejected in several cases? 1, the letter trademark containing the country name, place name is easy to be rejected 2, the letter trademark containing negative information is easy to be rejected 3, the letter trademark with similar abbreviation is easy to be rejected 4, the letter trademark with the same meaning as the Chinese translation is easy to be rejected 5, the letter trademark containing the abbreviation of international institutions is easy to be rejected...

Trademark is not registered to promote the use of, for enterprises, this is the most fatal shortcoming, because this sign is not only you can use, others can also use, it will make the trademark difference between the role of the source of goods affected, here, Xiaobian would like to provide you with five basic suggestions, hope to help you apply for trademarks!

1, before the trademark registration, be sure to carry out detailed trademark inquiries, whether it is their own application or entrusted agency, we should pay attention to trademark inquiries, in terms of professionalism, the agency will certainly do professional inquiries, if you are applying for trademarks, then be sure to go to the official website of the trademark Office to inquire about trademarks.It should be noted that the result of trademark query can not represent the result of trademark registration, and this is not because of the problem of searching the website, mainly because the trademark data that we can query is entered into the trademark office database information, and the trademark application that is not entered into the trademark Office database can not be queried at all, so there will be a lag period of several months, which is also what we call the trademark blind period. In addition, there are some subjective factors in trademark examination. Different examiners have different understanding of the examination rules and judgment of trademarks. All trademark applications require professional trademark agents to conduct further risk assessment according to the examination standards in addition to the inquiry. Therefore, trademark enquiries are for reference only.

2, the trademark pattern should not be too complex and diverse, some applicants registered trademarks, graphics, Chinese and English are added, such a combination to apply, although the trademark registration fee is low, but the trademark risk is increased, because the examiner in the review of the trademark, will be divided into these parts to review, there is a part of the same or similar, it will cause the trademark rejected. Delay trademark registration time. If it is divided into three parts of the registration, although the registration fee is high, but the audit speed is much faster, the risk is also reduced, and so on, after the trademark registration is successful, it can also be combined to use.

3, when applying for a trademark, you can prepare two more, or apply for several trademarks at the same time, in the inquiry, if there is a high degree of approximation of the trademark, can also be replaced in time, and the reason, because the auditor is different, the review speed is different, may be the trademark is still under review, another trademark has been registered successfully, the enterprise can start to promote the use of.

4, after the successful registration of the trademark, be sure to use, and retain the evidence of trademark use, because the trademark may face the risk of being withdrawn by others, so the applicant should be prepared in advance.

5, waiting for ten years after the registration of the trademark, to carry out a trademark renewal, can be renewed within twelve months before the expiration of the deadline, the trademark will be revoked.

In summary, it is suggested that we must pay attention to the above five points, in addition, trademarks should also be registered defense trademarks, such as Alibaba, Lao Gan Ma, big white Rabbit and other big brands, there are many defense trademarks, which is to prevent the phenomenon of brand-name ruffling after the trademark is famous, causing irreversible losses to the enterprise brand
