Publication Date: August 8, 2025 | Source: Official Announcement of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)

2025 年 8 月 6 日，美国专利商标局（ USPTO ）对外公布重大制裁公告，对一家境外商标递交机构实施处罚，批量终止该机构关联的 52000 余件商标申请及已注册商标。本次是近年 USPTO 打击商标代理欺诈规模较大的清理行动，为涉外知识产权服务行业以及出海企业，敲响了商标合规的警钟 。

On August 6, 2025, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a major sanction notice, imposing penalties against a foreign trademark filing firm and terminating more than 52,000 trademark applications and registrations linked to this entity. This represents one of the largest scale crackdowns on trademark agency fraud carried out by the USPTO in recent years, sounding a warning on trademark compliance for both the foreign related IP service industry and Chinese enterprises going global.

事件概况

Case Overview

经 USPTO 调查，涉事境外机构本身不具备合法代理权限与执业资质，却大量承接美国商标业务。为掩盖自身资质缺陷，该机构实施多项欺诈行为：
According to the USPTO investigation, the involved foreign firm lacked lawful agency authority and professional qualifications, yet accepted a large volume of US trademark matters. To cover up its qualification deficiencies, the firm committed multiple fraudulent acts:

1. 拉拢美国持证律师开展合作，盗用律师执业资质，伪造电子签名；

2. 频繁冒用他人名义签署官方法律文件；

3. 向官方提交伪造的商标使用样本；

4. 违规盗用、滥用 USPTO.gov 官方系统账户提交案件。

1. Sought cooperation with US licensed attorneys, misappropriated their professional credentials and forged electronic signatures;

2.Repeatedly signed official legal documents under other people’s names;

3. Submitted counterfeit specimens of trademark use to the authority;

4 . Submitted counterfeit specimens of trademark use to the authority;

USPTO 表示，将该批问题商标从注册登记簿清除，意在维护美国商标制度公信力，保障商标登记簿记载的均为 真实投入商业使用 的商标，避免大量虚假商标挤占公共商标资源，干扰正常商标检索与注册秩序。
The USPTO stated that removing these problematic trademarks from the register aims to uphold the credibility of the US trademark system, ensuring that only trademarks genuinely used in commerce are recorded. This prevents massive numbers of sham trademarks from occupying public trademark resources and disrupting normal trademark search and registration procedures.

 

事件释放的监管信号

Regulatory Signals from the Incident

 

代理资质红线不可逾越

The Nonnegotiable Red Line of Agency Qualification

美国商标法律有强制规定：非美国本土申请人，申请美国商标，必须由 美国本地持证执业律师 代理递交。 国内知识产权机构可承担国内对接、方案规划、沟通协调工作，但案件的法定递交主体必须为美国执业律师。 如绕过法定规则，通过中介盗用律师资质、伪造签名提交申请，属于严重商标欺诈。一旦被查实：

在审商标申请将直接被驳回；

已成功注册的商标会被终止效力；

申请人会在 USPTO 系统留存不良记录，后续新申请将面临更加严格的重点审查。

US trademark law imposes a mandatory requirement: for non U.S. resident applicants, applications for U.S. trademarks must be filed by locally based U.S. licensed practicing attorneys. Domestic intellectual property agencies may perform local liaison, solution planning and communication coordination work; however, U.S. licensed attorneys shall serve as the legally mandated filing entity for the cases. Circumventing statutory rules by misappropriating attorney credentials and forging signatures via intermediaries constitutes serious trademark fraud. Once verified:

Pending trademark applications will be rejected outright;

Registered trademarks will have their rights terminated;

Applicants will incur adverse records in the USPTO system, and their subsequent new applications will be subject to intensified targeted examination.

 

“真实商业使用” 是美国商标的核心基石

"Genuine Commercial Use" — The Cornerstone of the US Trademark System

真实使用原则贯穿美国商标全生命周期，并非只针对注册申请阶段。 不管是申请阶段提交的使用证据，还是后续维护商标、续展提交的使用样本，全部需要真实、可溯源核验。 市面上部分渠道提供的 “ 伪造、包办使用证据 ” 属于高危操作，一旦被 USPTO 抽查识破，已取得的商标权利会直接被撤销。

The genuine use principle runs through the entire lifecycle of US trademarks and is not limited to the trademark application phase. Both use evidence submitted during the application process and use specimens filed later for trademark maintenance and renewal must be authentic and traceable for verification. Services of "fabricated or pre arranged use evidence" offered by some market channels are high risk practices. Once detected in USPTO random spot checks, the granted trademark rights will be directly cancelled.

 

企业出海，务必核查完整代理链路

Enterprises Going Global: Verify the Full Agency Chain

 

出海企业选择美国商标服务，不能只看报价，应当核验完整服务链条： ✅ 确认最终处理、递交案件的是 USPTO 备案的美国持证律师，可在官方系统核验律师执业状态； 警惕超低价套餐、 “ 包下证 ” 、 “ 包办全套使用证据 ” 等宣传。

When selecting US trademark services, enterprises expanding overseas should not focus merely on quotations but verify the complete service chain: ✅ Confirm that cases are ultimately handled and filed by USPTO registered US licensed attorneys, whose practicing status can be checked via official systems. Be wary of promotions such as ultra low price packages, “guaranteed registration” and “full set pre prepared use evidence packages”.

 

一旦合作中介卷入批量欺诈处罚事件，企业投入时间、金钱布局的商标会集体失效，前期品牌布局付诸东流，带来不可逆的商业损失。

If the engaged intermediary is involved in mass fraud sanctions, trademarks for which the enterprise has invested time and funds may become invalid in batches. Previous brand building efforts will go to waste and result in irreversible commercial losses.

 

行业从业者思考

Reflections for Industry Practitioners

对于涉外商标代理机构而言，海外业务不能只追求业务数量，合规是业务开展的前提。 我们应当向客户充分、客观讲解目标国家商标法律制度，明确告知相关风险，坚决拒绝伪造签名、制作虚假使用证据等各类违规操作。引导客户基于自身真实商业经营情况，理性、合规完成海外商标品牌布局。

For foreign related trademark agencies, overseas business operations should not solely pursue case volume, and compliance serves as a prerequisite for conducting business. We shall fully and objectively inform clients of the trademark legal systems in target jurisdictions, clearly notify them of relevant risks, and firmly reject irregular practices including signature forgery and fabrication of false use evidence. It is advisable to guide clients to complete overseas trademark and brand planning rationally and compliantly based on their actual commercial operations.
