310. Trademarks

It is understandable that the addresses are different, after all, only one store can be opened at the same address, and it is impossible to add stores to stores.

But except for the address, the other information is the same, and it is difficult for Su Luo not to wonder if the owner of this store deliberately wants to catch the four seasons of vegetables and fruits to touch porcelain.

She counted that on nine different planets, there was a Four Seasons restaurant, and all the information except the address was exactly the same.

After that, Su Luo investigated the investor who was exposed, but unfortunately, she was unable to investigate any information.

I don't know if this person is too "ordinary" and not a celebrity, so she can't investigate, or because it's too "unusual", so she can't investigate.

But no matter what the situation was, it would be more troublesome for Su Luo, after all, the other party was obviously prepared, and she didn't know anything now except a name and the address of one of the Four Seasons restaurants.

But this is normal, after all, Su Luo checked these by himself and searched for them using the most basic websites on the Star Network, if even the database of this kind of website can be casually searched for everyone in the whole interstellar network, then Su Luo should be worried.

Although she didn't find it, Su Luo didn't panic because she had other things to do...... For example, go and see how your previous registered trademarks are.

That's right!

As early as when Su Luo established the Star Online Store, she had already tried to register a trademark, after all, various cases in the world before told her why she did it.

It's just that trademark registration has always been a very long process, according to the regulations here, it can be as short as half a year, as long as several years, and there is even a high probability that it will be rejected.

Especially with a large interstellar population, the name "Four Seasons" is very common, which can be seen from the hundreds of thousands of results directly searched by Su Luo.

According to the rules that the name cannot be duplicated, Su Luo wasted a lot of effort in naming the store.

She was stunned to think of dozens of names, and in the end it may have been shit luck, the original star online store called "Four Seasons Vegetables and Fruits" was cancelled, and it happened that no one else registered this name at that time, and she took the lead, so Four Seasons Vegetables and Fruits was successfully established.

After the registration was successful, Su Luo immediately checked the name of another store, which was "Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables".

After discovering that the name had been registered and was in business, Su Luo contacted the store and bought the name.

At that time, Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables had just been established, and Su Luo had never sold anything once, so the boss of Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables naturally did not know the existence of Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables, let alone Su Luo's identity.

Seeing that Su Luo's price was appropriate, and he did look half-dead when he opened the store by himself, he simply sold the store and ran away.

As for why he did this, it was actually a bit similar to this time, mainly to prevent touching porcelain.

Otherwise, why are there so many similar names on the market now?

For example, "Huangjing Fruits and Vegetables".

Personal grievances aside, people were indeed the leaders in the crop market before, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are among the star online stores, and the luxury stores of vegetables and fruits.

is also to touch porcelain, after the explosion of Huangjing fruits and vegetables, many similar names appeared, such as "Huangjing Vegetables and Fruits", "Huangjing Fruits and Vegetables", "Huangjing Vegetables and Fruits", "Huangjing Vegetables and Fruits" and so on......

Not to mention anything else, the other few can be distinguished by anyone who reads the words carefully, but the first "Huangjing Fruits and Vegetables" is a pirated version, and the genuine "Huangjing Fruits and Vegetables" is very similar, and the names seem to be relatively smooth, there is no problem, plus the "piracy" itself also has a small amount of capital, so at that time these two stores can be said to be "hit" inseparable.

Although it was the "genuine" Huangjing Fruits and Vegetables that won later, this incident left a deep impression on many peers.

Of course, only famous big stores need to worry about this problem, and small shops don't know the name at all, let alone deliberately change their names to touch porcelain.

And Su Luo is based on his previous life experience, knowing that with his own situation, the four seasons vegetables and fruits will definitely become popular in the future, so it can be regarded as such

I made plans early.

Not only did I buy a similar store name (it can't be searched if it doesn't open after I bought it), but I also registered a trademark for the first time.

In terms of trademarks, she has registered two, one for "Four Seasons" and one for "Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables".

The trademark law of Interstellar is different from the previous one, and a name that has already been registered can be re-registered, but many conditions need to be met.

The easiest condition to understand is that the trademark name belongs to the commonly used range, such as blue sky, white clouds, red flowers, green leaves, etc.

These are very common words, so there is no restriction on one person to register.

For example, if Huangjing has a special meaning at first glance, it is difficult to register a second trademark with the same name.

As to whether it is a common word, the relevant departments have their own way of deciding...... Of course, it does not mean that as long as it is a common word, you can register casually, after all, there are other conditions, such as passing all aspects of audit and inspection, meeting certain business conditions, and so on.

In short, the current result is that because of the explosion of vegetables and fruits in the four seasons, the process of applying for a trademark before Suluo can be said to be very smooth.

Because "Four Seasons" is a common vocabulary trademark, the registration is simpler than a special trademark, coupled with the influence of various factors such as business conditions, it was originally expected that it would take another two months to get the trademark, but she has been notified in the past two days to pay attention to check the background situation, and it seems that she should be able to get it down immediately.

Although after the trademark came down, Su Luo could not prevent others from using the names "Four Seasons" or "Four Seasons Vegetables and Fruits".

After all, in the past, except for special well-known trademarks, after the application for ordinary trademarks, the company could not prevent others from using the same name, but could only prevent its infringement.

What's more, now Interstellar also allows the registration of trademarks of the same name and the same kind, so this trick is even more useless, unless the other party steals your registered trademark, you can sue for it.

However, the most important reason for Su Luo to apply for this ordinary trademark is that she wants to apply for a higher-level special trademark.

The so-called special trademark is actually a little similar to the previous well-known trademark, simply put, after the application is successful, the trademark name becomes exclusive, and it cannot be used unless someone else has registered a trademark with this name.

Even if a trademark has been registered, it is only an ordinary trademark, which will be one level lower than a special trademark, and once the infringement is confirmed, it will still be subject to very serious punishment.
