Prevention Of Malicious Trademark Registration

A well-known service company in our city has been in operation for many years, and has never thought of registering service marks. When it wants to register, it finds that the business name has been applied for the service mark first. If you want to bring it back, the other party will ask for a price of 300 thousand yuan.

Recently, the city commerce and Industry Bureau invited the trademark experts from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce from Beijing to give lectures for Wuhan enterprises, and to teach and prevent and curb the registration of trademarks, including defensive registration.

The number of applications for trademark has also been increasing year by year, more than 7000 in the previous year, and over 10 thousand last year.
