Can a word be trademarked? What about the success rate?

A word can be registered as a trademark, and the success rate is low.

The conditions for the formation of a trademark are as follows:

1. Possess statutory constituent elements, including words, graphics, letters, numbers, three-dimensional signs, color combinations and sounds, etc., as well as the combination of the above elements. and it may be a sign that distinguishes the goods of a natural person, legal person or other organization from the goods of others;

2. The trademark applied for registration shall have distinctive features and be easy to identify.

The distinctive features of a trademark can be obtained in two ways:

1. The distinctive features inherent in the logo itself, such as a trademark with novel ideas and unique design;

2. If a narrative sign that obtains distinctive features through the use of such as directly describing the quality of the goods and other characteristics is used to obtain distinctive features and is easy to identify, it can be registered as a "second meaning" trademark.

A trademark is a legal term used to identify and distinguish goods or services. Any sign that can distinguish the goods of a natural person, legal person or other organization from the goods of others, including words, graphics, letters, numbers, three-dimensional signs, color combinations and sounds, as well as a combination of the above elements, can be registered as a trademark.

A brand or a part of a brand is called a "trademark" after it has been registered by the relevant authorities in accordance with the law. Trademarks are protected by law, and the registrant has the exclusive right. Famous trademarks in the international market, often registered in many countries.

There is a distinction between "registered trademarks" and "unregistered trademarks" in China. A registered trademark is a trademark that is protected by law after being registered by the relevant authorities, and an unregistered trademark is not protected by the trademark law.

Article 22 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China The applicant for trademark registration shall fill in the category and name of the goods using the trademark in accordance with the prescribed commodity classification table, and submit an application for registration.

An applicant for trademark registration can apply for the registration of the same trademark in multiple classes of goods through a single application.

The application for trademark registration and other relevant documents may be submitted in writing or in the form of data messages.

A single word can apply for a trademark, but in the case that no one else has applied for it before, such as the Jin brand trademark of Jinjiu, the success rate is not easy to say, if the word is more artistic, its distinctiveness will be stronger, and the success rate of applying for a registered trademark will be higher. It should be noted that it is impossible to apply for a patent for a single word, the patent is the shape, structure or method of the product; A single word generally does not produce copyright, unless it adopts a very unique design, that is, it is very artistic, then it can generate copyright.

Ways to improve the success rate of registration:

1. If there is only one word, if no one else has registered this word before, or has not registered a similar word, maybe it can be successful, but a word is too monotonous and simple after all, and the possibility of not passing is very great.

2. If the company has technical personnel, it can carry out artistic design on a single word to make it more unique and more prominent, then its pass rate will be greatly increased, but the artistic design can not be similar to other registered trademarks, otherwise it will not pass.

3. If you want to pass a single word registered trademark, artistry is essential, it is recommended to check the similarity of the trademark before applying for registration.

4. When registering, the category of the trademark should be accurate, there are about dozens of large categories of trademark categories in our country, and there are many small categories.

5. It is possible that the registration may not be passed at one time, and the trademark examination and reexamination are still available, even if it is rejected at the moment, it is not incurable, and it is still possible to successfully register if the opposition is raised in time.

There are no special requirements for quantity, and many people still choose 6 words when registering a trademark, but when registering a trademark, you need to prepare the relevant information clearly before you can apply.

Now it's usually two or three words, and at most six words, because there are no very clear rules at all.
