The Trademark Office Of The SAIC Responds To Trademark Registration Certificate And Other Issues.

Recently, the lack of paper resulted in the delay in issuance of trademark registration certificates and the procedures for the registration of trademarks. Xu Ruibiao, director general of the Trademark Bureau of the General Administration of industry and commerce, received an interview with Xinhua News Agency on 18 July to respond to hot issues such as trademark registration certificates currently under public concern.

More than 230 thousand trademark registration certificates have been issued, all issued before the end of May.

Xu Ruibiao introduced that from the first arrival of the first registration of the trademark registration certificate in March 25th to 17, 17 points have been printed, 632410 have been printed, and 231624 have been issued, so as to ensure that all the registered trademarks of the backlog will be distributed to the registrants before the end of May.

"This incident is something that should not happen. There are many criticisms in the society and the media. We sincerely accept it." Xu Ruibiao said that the problems of cumbersome procurement procedures and inconvenient convergence of departments did exist, but it also showed that the staff concerned were not strong in service consciousness, inefficient and emergency measures were not in place.

Xu Ruibiao said that after failing to disclose information in a timely manner, it revealed that the sense of responsibility is not strong enough. The Trademark Office will learn from it and further enhance its foresight and planning.

At present, the trademark office is carrying out a comprehensive clean-up of various processes, such as trademark application, alteration, objection, and revocation, and puts forward rectification measures, and speeds up the construction of information technology, so as to provide convenience for trademark applicants.

A trademark registration certificate is not the sole right to exclusive use of a trademark. Prove

The applicant's trademark has been registered, but can not get the trademark registration certificate, how to protect his rights?

Xu Ruibiao said that trademarks can be used without registration, but they are not protected by law, while registered trademarks are the exclusive rights to protect trademarks. With the announcement of the trademark office as the criterion, the applicant shall obtain the exclusive right to use the trademark.

He said that there are three ways to register trademark rights: first, the registration announcement, that is, the notice published by the trademark registration authority after the examination is completed, and it has been published in two ways in writing and in network. The registrant can query on the China Trademark network. Even if the trademark registration certificate is not obtained, the applicant has the right to use the trademark, and the two is the paper trademark registration certificate. However, according to the consistent practice, the Madrid international registered trademark is not issued the registration certificate; three is the trademark registration certificate issued by the Trademark Office, and the trademark registrant may apply for it according to his own demand, and the written certificate issued by the Trademark Office shall be the same as the trademark registration certificate. legal effect 。

" Trademark registration certificate It will be implemented without cost.

In the case of listing and spanfer, enterprises need to submit the trademark registration information to the relevant departments. At present, the legal effect of the trademark registration certificate issued by the Trademark Office of the General Administration of industry and commerce is legal.

Xu Ruibiao introduced that the business process of the certificate of registration includes application for receivables, book review, scanning, entry, financial checking, checking, signing, printing, etc. the processing time is usually 1 to 3 months. The time required for the registration of the certificate of registration shall be extended correspondingly with the business process of trademark alteration, spanfer and renewal application.

Xu Ruibiao said that the application time for the certificate of registration of trademarks was rather long and the procedures were complicated. The trademark office had taken corrective measures to simplify the procedures and optimize the work flow by changing the way of issuance. The work efficiency was improved by the use of the special seal of registered archives.

In the future, the applicant can submit the identity document and the trademark registration number without charge. As for the application of the trademark registration certificate issued by Madrid international trademark registration, it is still necessary to follow the current practice, but the processing time will be reduced to less than one month. The specific implementation plan will be implemented this week.

Trademark agencies are not all "reliable".

The trademark registration certificate has complicated procedures and long time. Some trademark agencies claim that they can get a certificate within a month.

Xu Ruibiao introduced that the Trademark Office handled the trademark business by computer system process control, queuing up strictly according to time, leaving traces of all operations.

He reminded that trademark agencies were mixed, and some would exaggerate false propaganda in the process of soliciting business. "If an agency claims to be able to get a certificate in a very short time, this statement is obviously not reliable. Please do not believe this statement."

With the change of the way of issuing the certificate of registration in the future, part of the business of the agency will also lose its gold content.

Xu Ruibiao said that the Trademark Office will establish credit archives for more than 23000 agencies, incorporate them into the credit supervision system, and cooperate with some targeted supervision measures to standardize the services of the agencies.
