Additionally, it should be noted that a trademark is a valuable intangible asset that provides a company with various advantages. Having a registered trademark in its portfolio, the company is the owner of exclusive rights to it, which allows you to legally use the trademark in its activities, prohibit illegal use by third parties, and allow the use of the trademark with the consent of the right holder.

When creating a trademark, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the trademark must be protectable and comply with the requirements of the legislation of Russia and China. Thus, the designation must be unique and capable of individualizing the goods/services of its owner. In addition, the designation should not fall under the absolute grounds for refusal of registration. based on the requirements of the legislation of a particular country and the established practice. It is also important to search the database of registered marks and filed applications in order to assess the possible risks of infringement of the rights of third parties.

It should be noted that a prerequisite for obtaining exclusive rights to a trademark is its registration. Thus, it is important not only to develop a unique protectable mark, but also to go through the procedure of its registration. Upon successful registration of a trademark, the right holder becomes the owner of exclusive rights to it and can freely use it for the production of goods and/or for the provision of services in the territory of the country in which its legal protection is obtained.

The service we offer allows you to obtain trademark registration in the territories of two countries - Russia and China in a short time and protect yourself from possible risks at customs.
