If the application procedures for trademark registration are complete, the application documents are complete and the payment of fees meets the requirements, the Trademark Office will accept it and notify the applicant in writing; If the application procedures are incomplete, the application documents are not filled in as required or the fees are not paid, the Trademark Office will not accept the application, and notify the applicant in writing and explain the reasons. Where the application procedures are basically complete or the application documents basically meet the requirements, but need to be corrected, the Trademark Office shall notify the applicant to make corrections, and limit him to make corrections according to the specified contents and return them to the Trademark Office within 30 days from the date of receiving the notice. If it is corrected and returned to the Trademark Office within the prescribed time limit, the date of application shall be retained; If it fails to make corrections within the time limit or fails to make corrections as required, the Trademark Office will not accept it and notify the applicant in writing. The provisions on acceptance conditions in the second paragraph of this article shall apply to handling other trademark matters.
