Benefits and advantages of overseas trademark applications
Dec 2018
When your brand or company reach certain stage, you may wish to leave your comfort zone and step out of Taiwan. Before you take your first step, it is necessary to apply for a trademark in the region that you wish to develop your business. This is for protection of your own brands, respect for local laws and smoother business development. Examples from the United States and China are as follows.
The American multinational e-commerce company Amazon is the market leader among all the online shopping platforms. When using Amazon as a platform to conduct sales, you must first submit a certificate for your registered trademark to complete verification. Your rights will thus be protected by the platform.
Similarly, in China, trademark verification is required before your products are put on shelves in major shopping malls. Therefore, many companies apply for trademarks in countries that they want to expand their market in. This act can avoid their trademarks being registered by others and also ensure the compliance with local laws and regulations.
Apart from the examples from the above two countries, different countries have their own regulations for trademark registration. Therefore, it is very important to choose a professional agent with international trademark application experience. You can bypass the inconvenience of doing research and language barrier, and save more time and money for other purposes.
