Trademark registration process
The first step is to determine the scope of trademark registration and conduct a pre-search. The registration scope of the trademark should be selected based on the categories and product names listed in the "Classification Table of Similar Goods and Services". After selecting the scope, it is recommended to conduct a trademark search to evaluate whether the trademark registration application is at risk of being rejected. If so, Trademarks can be modified in time before applying for registration.
The second step is to submit the trademark registration application documents to the Trademark Office. Application documents include: trademark registration application, applicant’s subject qualification certification materials, and if an intellectual property agency is entrusted to submit, a power of attorney should also be submitted.
The third step is to accept and review the trademark office. After the Trademark Office accepts the application, it will conduct a formal examination and a substantive examination. The formal examination mainly examines the applicant’s name, address, trademark drawing,Designated goods and services. The substantive examination mainly examines whether the trademark is a mark prohibited from registration and use under the Trademark Law, and whether it conflicts with an identical or similar trademark previously applied for or registered.
The fourth step is announcement. If the application passes the review, the Trademark Office will make an announcement. The announcement period is 3 months. During this period, prior rights holders and interested parties can raise objections to the trademark application.
The fifth step is to approve the registration. If no one raises any objection during the announcement period, the Trademark Office will approve the registration and issue a "Trademark Registration Certificate".
