    Hello, glad to answer for you. Adopted by the United StatesThe principle of prior use of trademarks。Ownership of a trademark in the United States generally depends on the use of the trademark in the United States.

    Generally speaking, even if the first user has never registered its trademark in the United States or the subsequent user has registered the same or similar trademark first, the person who actually uses a trademark first has the right to prefer the later user of the trademark. From the perspective of trademark protection, the registration of the user's trademark with the U.S. Federal Patent and Trademark Office should not be overlooked.

    U.S. trademark lifespan: 10 years, calculated from the date of filing, but an oath of use is required in the 5th to 6th year after the registration date, and a renewal is required in the 9th to 10th year to maintain the validity of the trademark.

    The process of requesting a U.S. trademark is as follows:

    1.Application Submission: After filing an application with the U.S. Trademark Office, an application number (literally, a serial number) will be assigned within 1-2 business days, and the trademark information can be found at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in about 2 weeks after the application number is assigned.

    2.Trademark Examination: This stage includes formal examination and substantive examination, which will take about 2-4 months, and if the application meets the minimum formal requirements, complies with the legal requirements and does not conflict with prior rights, the trademark will be published.

    3.Office action stage: If there are any formal or substantive reasons for refusing to register the trademark during the trademark examination process, an official opinion (office action) must be answered, and if the official opinion is not answered, the application will be deemed invalid (unless it is an official opinion on some goods), and there is a 6-month response period from the date of issuance of the official opinion.

    If the reply is not passed, the official will issue a final opinion, and only after the problem is resolved can it be announced, otherwise it will be finally rejected.

    4.Publication stage: If there is no reason to refuse the registration of the trademark, then the trademark will be published in the trademark gazette (OG)), which will be published every week, about 1 month after approval, the trademark will be published in the trademark gazette for a period of 30 days, and anyone can file an objection to the application with the trademark office, and if there is no objection, it will enter the registration stage in about 3 months.

    5.Registration stage: After 1 month of the publication of the trademark, if no opposition is received, the Trademark Office will approve the registration, and the following step 9 will be carried out in the 5th and 6th years after the registration to maintain the validity of the trademark rights.

    First of all, we need to know why we registered a U.S. trademark?

    As an important part of corporate brand building, it is a key step for foreign trade enterprises to realize their own transformation and promotion. In order to ensure that their products are not excluded and snatched by other countries, any enterprise entering the international market must register a trademark overseas. Especially in recent years, more and more platforms are formulating regulations on trademark registration and infringement, in order to avoid infringement and lawsuits.

    It can be seen how important it is to have a trademark.

    However, the U.S. Zheng Bureau has adopted the principle of prior use of trademarks, so whether or not a U.S. trademark can be obtained often depends on the use of the trademark.

    So how much is the trademark registration fee in the United States?

    Typically, the official fee is $250, which is equivalent to 1,700 RMB.

    If you apply by yourself, you only need to pay official fees, and if you are looking for a company, you need to pay an official registration fee and trademark fee, which is about a few thousand yuan, and the specific cost depends on the actual situation of the company.

    The following are the materials and steps required for trademark registration in the United States:

    Step 1: Enquire in advance.

    A trademark search is necessary. Before registering a U.S. trademark, it is necessary to check whether there is an identical or similar trademark on the Trademark Office, so as to determine the probability of successful registration.

    Here, we should note that the search is a relatively professional work, and if the company or individual is inexperienced and blindly registers a U.S. trademark without adequate preparation, it is likely to be rejected directly or opposed by others.

    Phase 3: Examination by the U.S. Trademark Office.

    The applicant prepares the above documents and submits them to the United States Trademark Office for examination.

    First, it will take about 1 month to enter the first stage, that is, the preliminary examination.

    When the application satisfies the basic requirements, an examiner will be appointed to check whether the trademark complies with laws and regulations, whether it contradicts the registered trademark, and whether to register it.

    After the approval, the Trademark Office will publish the information about the trademark, and the public can challenge the trademark during the 30-day publicity period. If it is not qualified, the examiner will issue a notice of opinion, requiring the applicant to respond within 6 months, and the deadline will be regarded as a waiver.

    If there is no objection, the U.S. Trademark Office will issue a trademark certificate.

    I have to say that it is more troublesome to register a trademark in the United States by yourself, and it is recommended to find a friend to sell. They can provide you with a comprehensive range of work, including trademark search and analysis evaluation, and can also teach you how to change your name to increase the success rate of your trademark. Professional ** organization, has been committed to foreign trademark registration for many years, familiar with its process, can greatly save your time and energy.

    But you can't just find one, none of those counterfeiting agencies are trustworthy, and there will be a lot of risk when the time comes.

    If you register a trademark in the United States, the time to apply for registration is about 8 to 10 months, while in our country it takes about 8 12 months, and there are some differences. If you want to register a trademark in the U.S., but don't know much about it, then I suggest you find a client. We only need to pay a part of the commission fee, and then all these trivial things can be handled by this commission agency.

    Nowadays, many people know that registered trademarks are only very important, especially for enterprises or individuals who operate in order to better protect their products, they will choose to register trademarks for their products. What is the general process for registering a trademark in the United States?

    The first step is to carefully examine the application of the parties, and then submit the information of the application, after which the Trademark Office will review the legality of the documents submitted by the parties to the application documents and the reproduction of the trademark. If the Trademark Office deems that it is compliant, it will grant the applicant an application number, and if it does not, it will reject it. Of course, this is only a part of the formal examination, and substantive examination is also required, which means that the Trademark Office will examine whether the trademark is registrable and whether it is similar to the previously registered trademark in accordance with the law.

    If there is no breach of agreement in the trademark you are applying for, the examiner will consider the trademark acceptable after examination, and then it will be published on the official trademark bulletin board of the United States. The validity period of this notice shall be calculated within one month from the day of publication, and after the above-mentioned procedure, the Trademark Office will issue a certificate of permission notice, but at this time, it is not a registration certificate issued to the parties, and after the permission notice, the applicant must submit a statement of true use of the trademark in commerce within six months. Or apply to reserve the trademark, and a certificate will be issued to the party concerned after the time limit has passed.

    After receiving the real notice of use, the Trademark and Patent Office will temporarily examine it, which is different from the application form of the Chinese Trademark Office. If the decision to accept the declaration of authenticity is accepted after review, then a certificate of registration is issued, and the whole process takes about a year. The registration can be used for 10 years from the date of registration, after which it should be renewed six months in advance.

    If you are only registered in the United States, it is recommended that you take the route of single country registration, which is more affordable for you (there are two different routes for the international registration of trademarks: Madrid registration and single country registration), and the cost is about 7,000 RMB. It is very troublesome for individual registration, it is better to find some domestic trademark ** agencies that have direct contact with foreign firms, so that you only need to provide a copy of your company's business license and the pattern and name of the trademark for company registration, which is more convenient.

    There are two times for registration, one is the official receipt time (also known as the time to get the acceptance notice), which is about 3 weeks; The other is the time required for the complete registration of the trademark, which is 10-18 months.
