Have many customers said they have packaged it?
The registered trademark is not covered, because the trademark review is a manual review, which will be related to the examiner's mood at the time and other factors. When an agency company says that the trademark is covered, it is a lie.
We can only find a professional agency company to search before trademark registration and honestly tell the customer the registration success rate, see if the customer wants to register at this success rate, or guide how to change the name, improve the success rate and then register, instead of Blindly submit a trademark, regardless of whether the customer's trademark is registered or not.

Many bosses and customers have such questions: it is more troublesome to register a US trademark by yourself, so is it reliable for me to find an agent? Will it be a shell company if it is handled directly online?
In fact, there are many agencies in China now with transparent prices and their own official website and mall. As long as you find a company with a good reputation and a brand record, there is no need to worry.
Why do I need an agent to register a US trademark in China?
To register a U.S. trademark, you need to find a third-party agency in China, because the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) only accepts applications from local lawyers in the United States, and Chinese people cannot apply for it. A local lawyer can help you apply, which actually takes more time and effort than finding an agency in mainland China.
Therefore, in China, we are looking for agencies. As long as the brand is bigger, the agencies that have been registered with the Trademark Office are more reliable. Moreover, the market is transparent, and there are many agents, so don’t look for that kind of cheap small institutions.
In addition, the legal fees in the United States are very expensive, and they generally cooperate directly with domestic agents to handle them in batches. I will not cooperate with individuals. Personal US attorney fees are very expensive and are billed by the hour. Unless you have a lawyer you know in the United States, it's another matter. If you don't have one, you can find a reliable agent in China.
US trademark registration, in the market about 3000-10000 yuan, mainly depends on the reputation of the agent, brand, service is good, so the price is uneven. Just like buying anything, there are always high and low prices.
From the customer's point of view, how to find an agent to register?
step 1:
Find a reliable, reputable, and documented agency first.
Step 2:
Communicate with them, and first help you to check whether the name of the US trademark can be registered in the United States for free, and what the pass rate is (so that you can be prepared for prevention).
Step 3:
If you can register, after negotiation, you can sign an agreement (contract) with the agent, see each clause clearly, ask all the fees, and avoid hidden charges later.
Step 4:
Provide the applicant's basic information (individual is a scanned copy of ID card or passport, and the name of the company is a scanned copy of business license), trademark name or logo pattern, and the type of trademark to be registered and small items are provided to them.
Note: The general agency will have a template for US trademark application, fill it out according to their instructions, and then give you a trademark application plan.
Step 5:
Later, the agent will handle it alone, and they will submit the application to the local lawyer in the United States, and just wait for the result.
Step 6:
For U.S. trademarks, generally, after submitting the application, a notice of acceptance can be issued within 7 working days, and the agent will also notify you. At this time, the product can be marked with TM for use; if the later stage is smooth, it is generally 9-12 months. After a few minutes, the US trademark can be successfully registered, and the trademark registration certificate will be mailed to you directly for free. At this time, you can use the R standard.
Be careful, don't be greedy for cheap, some small institutions don't care after submitting, or even run away, and do not notify customers of any progress in the future.
