Q: What information do individuals in Shenzhen need to apply for US trademark subsidies?
A: You can log in to the official website of Shenzhen Municipal Administration for Market Regulation to apply for trademark subsidies, fill in the corresponding information according to the trademark application information, print it out after filling it out, and then bring a copy of your ID card, a subsidy application form, the original and copy of the trademark certificate, the trademark agency entrustment contract and the original and copy of the invoice, and the Chinese translation of the trademark to the Shenzhen Patent Office for processing.
Q: Register an electronic category trademark, and then make clothing products. Can the trademark be used on clothing products?
A: It can be used, but it is not protected.
Q: The trademark is registered in the name of an individual, but my Amazon North America store is registered in the name of a company. How can I prove that the trademark belongs to the company and is legal and valid?
A: It doesn’t matter if the existing trademark owner and the identity of the registered Amazon are inconsistent. Amazon does not stipulate that the two must be the same. You just need to fill in all the brand registration information on the Amazon brand registration page and submit it.
Whether your store type is an individual seller or a professional home, it does not conflict with applying for trademark registration in your personal name. But you must apply for it in the United States first. You need to fill in the trademark certificate to apply for brand registration.
Q: Our company wants to register a US trademark, but we don’t want customers to see this trademark. Can we only register the trademark with our personal identity?
A; Trademark information is public. Since we don’t want customers to see it, we can only register the trademark with personal information. It is allowed for individuals to authorize the use of trademarks by companies.
Q: When registering an Amazon account, is it okay if the company name and address are different from those on the trademark? When I registered an Amazon store, the company name and address were filled in in pinyin, but English was used when applying for the trademark.
A: There are two ways.
1. You can change your registered address in the Amazon background to be consistent with the address on the trademark. However, changing the address on the European site may cause Amazon to review the account.
2. If the background address is not changed, pay attention to Amazon’s feedback email after you submit the brand registration application. If it reports that your company name and address are different, you can explain that your company name and address are different only because one uses pinyin and the other uses English, but they are actually the same company, and it should be acceptable.
