How to register a trademark
Trademark registration process:
(1) Formal review: After the application is submitted, the legality review of the submitted application documents, trademark drawings, power of attorney and other documents will be carried out; if the regulations are met, the application date and application number will be awarded .
(2) Substantive examination: Examine whether the trademark is registrable and whether it is registrable in accordance with the law. Is it identical or similar to a previously registered trademark or violates the prohibition provisions of the Trademark Law? For a trademark that fails substantive examination, the examining officer will notify the applicant in writing and inform the applicant of the reasons for rejection. The applicant may submit a reexamination within the time limit from the date of receipt of the rejection notice. Otherwise, the application will be deemed abandoned, and the application date and application number will not be retained. Applicants can apply for an extension after paying the extension fee. The trademark examiner may conditionally accept certain trademark registration applications and may require the applicant to give up the right to use certain words or graphics in the trademark.
(3) Announcement: After the trademark passes the review, the applicant will be informed that the trademark application has been accepted and published in the trademark announcement. Anyone can raise objections, state reasons and submit relevant evidence within the three-month announcement period.
(4) Registration approval: Trademarks that are found to be registrable after opposition, or trademarks that have been announced as having no objections will be approved for registration and a registration certificate will be issued.
