The trademark registration market has experienced a blowout, especially in the past two years. With the popularization of trademark knowledge and the value of trademark intellectual property, many companies have been driven to register trademarks, including individual industrial and commercial households who can register trademarks. . Because many of them are registering for the first time and do not know much about the basic knowledge of trademark registration, what are the procedures and steps for trademark registration?

Trademark registration procedure:

The first step in the trademark registration procedure is how to choose a trademark:

Before registering a trademark, we must choose our own trademark. First, the selected trademark must have distinctive features that can be distinguished from other trademarks. It will not confuse products and services with trademarks and mislead consumers' subjective consumption.

The second step in the trademark registration process is to select the trademark category:

The types of trademarks are mainly divided into 45 categories, including all current industries. Each of the 45 major categories is divided into many groups. There are many subcategories under the group. There are many similar analogies between the main classes and categories of trademarks. Therefore, when choosing a category for trademark protection, you must choose the corresponding category, especially the subcategory. Many categories cannot accurately determine the specific category from the surface. Our products and services can only be protected by selecting the corresponding category. Therefore, in the future use of trademarks, the choice of category is also very important. Pay attention to prevent mistakes and avoid trademark infringement or registration by others.

The third step in the trademark registration process is trademark registration:

1. Collect and prepare trademark registration application materials in advance, such as the drawing of the trademark to be registered, business license, personal identity document, Trademark registration applications, etc., shall be submitted to the Trademark Office for acceptance.

2. After the Trademark Office accepts the application, it can enter the trademark review stage, which is divided into formal review and substantive review. The main purpose is whether the trademark registration method complies with legal provisions and whether it is handled according to normal procedures. The substantive review mainly involves mutual verification of the submitted trademark registration materials and checking the authenticity and practicality of the materials.

3. After trademark review, it enters the announcement period. Trademark opposition has a stage during the announcement period. If others find that your trademark is similar to someone else's registered trademark, they will object to your trademark just like the trademark review team, and submit relevant materials to prove that the trademark review team will determine whether the objection is established and valid based on whether the supporting materials are complete. After establishment, you can file an appeal or make a new judgment, and submit evidence proving that the trademark has distinctive characteristics, and there are no similar circumstances. If the trademark objection is established, the trademark application will be rejected. If it cannot be established, it will be approved.

4. After the trademark objection is passed, a "Trademark Registration Certificate" will be issued and announced.

The above are the three steps of the trademark registration process, which provide a detailed introduction to the matters that need to be understood and paid attention to during the entire process of trademark registration.
