What is the process of applying for trademark registration?

The trademark registration process is broadly divided into 5 steps:

The first step is to determine the scope of registration of the trademark and conduct a pre-search. The scope of trademark registration should be selected according to the classes and trade names listed in the Table of Classification of Similar Goods and Services, and after the scope is selected, it is recommended to conduct a trademark search to assess whether the trademark registration application is at risk of being rejected, and if so, the trademark can be amended in time before the application for registration.

The second step is to submit the application documents for trademark registration to the Trademark Office. The application documents include: the application for trademark registration, the applicant's subject qualification certificate, and if the intellectual property ** institution is entrusted to submit, the power of attorney should also be submitted.

The third step is acceptance and examination by the Trademark Office. After acceptance, the Trademark Office will conduct a formal examination and a substantive examination, and the formal examination mainly examines the applicant's name, address, trademark reproduction, and designated goods and services. The substantive examination mainly examines whether the trademark is a sign that is prohibited from registration or use under the Trademark Law, and whether it conflicts with the same or similar trademark applied for or registered earlier.

The fourth step is the announcement. If the examination is passed, the Trademark Office will make an announcement for a period of 3 months, during which the prior right holder and interested party can raise objections to the trademark application.

The fifth step is to approve the registration. If no objection is raised during the announcement period, the Trademark Office will approve the registration and issue the Trademark Registration Certificate.

It takes about 12 months to complete the whole process of trademark registration.

Article 35 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China where an objection is raised against a trademark that has been preliminarily approved and announced, the Trademark Office shall hear the facts and reasons stated by the objector and the objectee, and after investigation and verification, make a decision on whether to grant the registration within 12 months from the date of expiration of the announcement, and notify the objector and the objectee in writing. If there are special circumstances that need to be extended, it can be extended for six months with the approval of the administrative department for industry and commerce.

If the Trademark Office makes a decision to approve the registration, it shall issue a trademark registration certificate and make a public announcement. If the objector is not satisfied, it may apply to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board for invalidation of the registered trademark in accordance with the provisions of Articles 44 and 45 of this Law.

If the Trademark Office makes a decision not to register, and the objector is not satisfied, it may apply to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board for review within 15 days from the date of receipt of the notice. The Trademark Review and Adjudication Board shall, within 12 months from the date of receipt of the application, make a decision on the reexamination and notify the objector and the objectee in writing. If there are special circumstances that need to be extended, it can be extended for six months with the approval of the administrative department for industry and commerce.

If the respondent is dissatisfied with the decision of the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board, it may file a lawsuit with the people's court within 30 days from the date of receipt of the notice. The people's court shall notify the objector to participate in the litigation as a third party.

In the course of conducting a review in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board may suspend the examination if the determination of the prior rights involved must be based on the outcome of another case being heard by the people's court or handled by the administrative organ. After the reasons for the suspension are eliminated, the review procedure shall be resumed.

Trademark registration is a legal procedure for obtaining the exclusive right to use a trademark.
