Rinro trademark registration road
After more than two years of hard work, Rinro Curtain Wall Consultant finally successfully registered the Rinro (Ninglong Curtain Wall Consultant) trademark!
Rinro established its brand awareness from the first day of business registration. We spent a lot of effort to maintain the company's website, design qualifications and brand names. In terms of the effect of corporate brand communication, a trademark that is closely related to corporate image is the focus of all brand communication work.
  经过两年多的努力,凝龙幕墙咨询终于成功注册了Rinro(凝龙幕墙咨询)商标!
  Rinro(凝龙幕墙咨询)从企业注册第一天开始就建立起了品牌意识。我们花了颇多的精力来维护公司网站,设计资质及商标品牌。从企业品牌传播效果来说,一个与企业形象息息相关的商标是所有品牌传播工作中的重点。

The trademark registration of Rinro also took a lot of twists and turns road. While entrusting the first agency service company to register the company, Rinro also commissioned the LOGO design company to design the LOGO logo, as shown below. :
  Rinro(凝龙幕墙咨询)的商标注册也是走很多曲折的路,在委托第一个代理服务公司注册企业的同时,Rinro(凝龙幕墙咨询)同时委托了LOGO设计公司设计了LOGO标识,如下图:



Even if we spent a lot of time, we found that the LOGO trademark is actually very difficult to register successfully. Because if there is no unique design meaning, or there is no pattern easily distinguishable from other trademark graphics, the registration of a LOGO trademark can easily be rejected by the Trademark Office.
  纵然花费了颇多精力,我们却发现LOGO商标其实是很难注册成功的。因为如果没有独特的设计含义,或者说没有与其他商标图形相容易区分开的图案,LOGO商标注册很容易就会被商标局给驳回。



And we happened to be dismissed. This of course has a very big relationship with the unprofessional of the agency company. A good agency will conduct full-time trademark searches. A truly responsible trademark advisor and lawyer will not blindly tell the client whether the trademark should be applied for or authorized, but will always tell him first: you need to determine the category, product or service based on your business, do a search and see if Whether it has already been registered, or the existence of an earlier approximation of the mark may threaten to dismiss your mark.
  而我们恰好被驳回了。这当然也和代理公司的不专业有非常大的关系。一个好的代理企业会进行专职的商标检索工作。真正负责任的商标顾问和律师,不会盲目告诉客户这个商标该不该申请、能不能授权,而是都会先告诉他:需要根据你的业务确定类别、商品或服务,做一次检索,看看是否已经被注册,或者存在在先近似商标可能会威胁到驳回你的商标。

The URL for consultation on the curtain wall is also rinro.com. Both are consistent, and many of the world's most famous trademarks are textual symbols such as Lenovo in the IT industry and SOM in the architectural design consulting industry. After several considerations and communication, we removed the LOGO design and left only the English and Chinese symbols. At the same time, we also found a strong agency company responsible for the registration of new trademarks.
The new trademark is adjusted to this:
  因凝龙幕墙咨询的网址也是使用rinro.com,两者是一致的,而且世界上非常著名的商标很多都是文字符号,如IT行业的联想lenovo,建筑设计咨询行业的SOM等。几经考虑及沟通,我们删除了LOGO图案,只留下了英文及中文符号,同时也找了家实力比较强的代理公司来负责新商标的注册。
  新的商标调整为这样:


We resubmit the new trademark application. After a period of time, they encountered a new problem. The agency company responded that the Wuhan company "China Nuclear Power Institute" is using a similar trademark: RINPO.
  我们重新提交新的商标申请。过了段时间,又遇到了一个新的问题。代理公司反馈说武汉企业”中核集团核动力运行研究所“正在使用一个类似的商标:RINPO。


Yes, very similar. However, after searching and verifying the agency service company, it was found that the registered address of the company was inconsistent with the trademark address, and he did not formally use his trademark in actual work. Therefore, the agency service company proposed a very radical plan: "Withdrawal of three", that is, the registered trademark held by the other party constitutes the actual situation of stopping use for three consecutive years and applies to the Trademark Office for canceling the use of the RINPO trademark of the other party.
After understanding and learning, we also know that the basic function of a trademark is to distinguish the source of the goods or services, that is, the relevant public establishes a specific connection between a specific product and a corresponding product provider through a specific logo, so that consumers can easily recognize the brand. Shopping, thereby reducing consumer search costs and maintaining a normal social economic order.
Second, the Supreme People's Court stated in the (2010) Zhixingzi No. 55 Administrative Ruling that the purpose of the “repeated use for three consecutive years” repeal system “is to activate trademark resources, clean up unused trademarks, and revoke just means rather than ends”. 
This time, the application also paid a considerable amount of money. At that time, we were also uneasy, because we did not have 100% certainty to withdraw the other party's right to use the trademark, nor did we have the confidence to win the registration of this trademark. The good news is that after several months of waiting, the other party’s trademark was finally withdrawn by the Trademark Office.
  是的,非常类似。但经过代理服务公司的搜索查证,发现这个企业的注册地址与商标地址不相符,且在实际工作中没有正式使用他的商标。因此代理服务公司提出一个很激进的方案:“撤三”,即以对方持有的注册商标构成连续三年停止使用的实际情况,向商标局申请撤消对方企业RINPO商标的使用。
  我们经过了解学习,也知道了商标的基本功能在于区分商品或服务的来源,即相关公众通过特定的标识将特定的商品与相应的商品提供者之间建立特定的联系,从而便于消费者认牌购物,从而降低消费者的搜索成本,维护社会正常的经济秩序。
  其次,最高人民法院在(2010)知行字第55号行政裁定书中曾明确“连续三年停止使用”撤销制度的立法目的“在于激活商标资源,清理闲置商标,撤销只是手段,而不是目的”。
这一次的申请也付出一笔不小的费用,我们当时也是忐忑不安,因为我们也没有百分之百的把握来撤消对方的商标使用权,也没有十足的信心来赢得这个商标的注册。好消息是,经过几个月时间的等待,对方的商标终于被商标局给撤消了。



After nearly half a year of waiting, we finally waited until the agency’s notice. Our trademark registration application passed the approval of the State Trademark Office and we officially obtained the right to hold the “RINRO Dinglong Curtain Wall Consulting” trademark.
  再经过近半年的等待,终于等到代理公司的通知,我们的商标注册申请通过了国家商标局的批准,正式获得了"RINRO凝龙幕墙咨询”商标的持有权。



Share the ups and downs we have traveled, blessing each and every company that is sincerely continuing its business to successfully register its own corporate brand and better provide customers with high-quality professional services.
  分享我们走过的坎坷曲折路程,祝福每一个诚心持续经营的企业都能够顺利地注册自己的企业商标,更好地为客户提供高质量的专业服务。

Note:
The normal trademark registration process should look like this:
  注:
  正常的商标注册过程应该是这样的:



C is an abbreviation for "copyright" in English, meaning that the publication is authorized and not pirated. However, copyright authorisation is geographically and time-limited. C only represents the copyright notice, not necessarily registered by legal means or some digital product not suitable for registration.
• TM is the abbreviation for “trade mark” in English. Chinese means: Commercial mark, in short, “trade mark”. Its role is to tell people that the graphic or text it labels is the trademark of the product or service, not the name or advertisement. The difference between TM and R is that TM is a trademark in the process of application and is marked in the upper right corner of the trademark.
• R is an abbreviation of "regiter" in English. Chinese means: registration. The R mark is a trademark that has already been registered and protected under trademark law and is also marked in the upper right corner of the mark. R is telling people that the graphics or texts it labels are not only trademarks but also registered trademarks and are protected by national laws. Unauthorized individuals and organizations cannot use them without authorization.
