SCOPE
Coverage and Common Misconceptions
Trademarks, patents, designs, and platform complaints are the most common ambushes for cross-border expansion. First, conduct searches; second, establish a layout; finally, respond to complaints.
Trademark Search and Registration Path
Ensure brand names and logos are available for registration and do not infringe on prior rights in the target market.
Common Misconceptions
Assuming overseas use is possible based solely on domestic registration, or that the trademark class does not cover the actual product categories being sold.
Patents and Designs
If the product structure or appearance is distinctive, evaluate the scope for filing and potential workarounds.
Common Misconceptions
Search only after listing reveals similar designs are already registered, resulting in high adjustment costs.
Infringement Alert and Monitoring
Before listing products on the platform, participating in trade shows, or running ads, you must review keywords, images, and product appearance.
Common Misconceptions
Images and copy are directly reused from supplier materials; source rights are unclear.
Platform Complaints and Appeals
Submit evidence within the platform's deadline when receiving an infringement complaint or facing a wrongful judgment.
Common Misconceptions
Missed the appeal window, or the submitted evidence does not match the complaint type.
SCENES
