Breaking news! The United States Trademark Office issued the latest notice on June 15, 2020 (local time):


In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Director of the Trademark Office has decided to give priority to trademark applications for COVID-19-related goods and services and waive their application fees starting from June 16.




Including products and services

1

Pharmaceuticals or medical devices , such as test kits, ventilators, and personal protective equipment, such as surgical masks, face shields, protective clothing, gloves, etc., that prevent, diagnose, and treat COVID-19 and are inspected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

2

Provide medical services or medical research services for the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of COVID-19.


The move by the Trademark Office can speed up the preliminary review process for COVID-19 trademarks, and the entire application process can be shortened by about two months . The US Trademark Office has blatantly opened a "green channel" for COVID-19-related US trademark applications!


As we all know, the US trademark is notoriously difficult to apply for, with strict review and difficulty in obtaining a certificate! During the epidemic, the US standard price of a ready-made mask was "as high as hundreds of thousands "!

FAQ

  



1

Is it necessary to register a trademark?


Trademark registration is necessary. If you do not register, you may be disqualified from participating in large international exhibitions; your goods may be seized by customs and your products may not enter the trading country; you may lose the opportunity to bid for international purchases; or your important markets may be preempted.   Conflict with local brands in the local country; having to abandon brands that have been used for a long time.

2

Can a registered trademark be used on all products?



Products with unregistered trademarks can also be used, but they are not protected by law. If someone else registers a trademark, they cannot be used. A trademark is protected in as many categories as it is registered.

3

How many forms of application are there for US trademarks ?

What impact do each have on Amazon registration ?



There are two common application methods in the United States: 1. Used application 2. Intent application. The following are the differences in time, process, fee, and approval rate between the two application methods; there is no difference in the registration of trademarks applied for by these two application methods on Amazon.

How to solve the problem of trademark being preemptively registered?


If your registration is preempted by others, you can take the following measures:
① Submit the trademark application as soon as possible so that you can provide relevant evidence when you raise an objection against the other party later.
② Raise objections to the other party when it enters the announcement period.
③Contact overseas lawyers to issue a warning to them.

5

Same name, EU trademark and individual national trademark,

Which one provides greater protection?


The EU trademark has a stronger protective effect because it can be protected in the 27 EU countries, while a single country trademark can only be protected in that country. In terms of the scope of protection, the EU trademark has more advantages.

The registration of EU trademarks includes EU member states.

Why do you need to register a trademark for an EU country separately?


Double protection. Due to the impact of Brexit, other EU member states also have plans to leave the EU. It is recommended to submit another trademark application in the target market country to achieve double protection.
