Quanzhou Launched A New Sprint Of Trademark International Registration

"Because some countries along the" one belt and one road "do not join the Madrid trademark registration system, this leads enterprises to extend their registered areas to these countries when they apply for Madrid trademark registration, which is likely to affect the trademark protection of enterprises in these countries.

Fujian province Quanzhou City, an enterprise director said helplessly.

In view of the above situation, this year, the Quanzhou industry and Commerce Bureau has adjusted the trademark strategy to encourage it.

Enterprises registered trademarks along the country along the road.

The Bureau specifically aims at promoting the knowledge of trademark registration in the "along the way" countries, and guides enterprises to carry out trademark registration in the non Madrid system countries along with the international registration of trademarks in Madrid, so as to expand the scope of protection of the registered trademarks of enterprises.

Facing the concerns of enterprises in the area, Quanzhou City

Related research shows that as of June 5, 2015, there were 42 countries along the "one belt and one road" covered by the Madrid trademark registration system, and more than 20 countries along the route were not included in the Madrid registration system.

This means that some enterprises can not get trademark protection in these countries even though they have registered the Madrid trademark internationally.

The Quanzhou industry and Commerce Bureau has led enterprises to set up the idea of "market failure and trademark first", to change the traditional way of "where the product is sold and where the trademark registration goes before", so as to achieve the registration of the products without entering the market, trademark registration, and guide enterprises to implement the "trademark rush and turn the corner", and remind the export enterprises that have not yet registered trademarks, especially the famous trademark enterprises and the enterprises with large export volume.

To prevent possible trademark rush registration and trade barriers, and guide enterprises to set up a strategic awareness of "follow up trademark and ready to release", guide enterprises with existing trademarks to take full account of the key areas for future business development, determine the national scope of the extension of international trademark "territory", advance the International Registration of trademarks, expand registered commodity categories and register defensive trademarks, and guide enterprises to establish the confidence of "independent brands and great deeds", and make overall plans from all levels of R & D, service and publicity, so as to enhance their own brand image.
