With the continuous development of the socialist market economy, people want to maintain the brand degree and popularity of enterprises through trademark registration, because trademarks, as famous brands of enterprises, represent the brand value of enterprises to a certain extent. If an enterprise successfully registers trademarks, it will not only improve the recognition ability of consumers and merchants of different brands to its own enterprises, but also give enterprises a certain advantage in market competition. Many people want to know what is the application process of trademarks in China? Here is a detailed explanation for you by Xiaobian.
First of all, before you register a trademark, you need to make a trademark inquiry in official website or the Trademark Office. The purpose of trademark inquiry is to ensure that your trademark is not similar to or the same as the registered trademark. If this happens, then you need to consider re-registering another trademark. After the trademark inquiry is completed, it is necessary to prepare the necessary trademark information, mainly including the applicant's ID card information, mailing address, business license, trademark pattern and so on.
Secondly, after submitting these materials to the Trademark Office, the Trademark Office will issue an acceptance notice. Once it is issued, it indicates that your trademark is under review. This kind of review mainly includes formal and substantive review. After the review, there will be a three-month trademark publicity period. During these three months, anyone can raise an objection to this trademark. If there is no objection, the Trademark Office will issue a trademark registration certificate. Generally speaking, if the trademark registration is successful, the whole process will take about 13 to 18 months to complete. If the trademark is rejected during this period, it will take longer.
in a word, trademark registration is a long process, so you'd better make preparations in advance. In addition, in the process of trademark registration, we must follow the relevant laws and regulations. If an enterprise has no long-term consideration for immediate interests, then it must be itself that will eventually suffer. The above is Xiaobian's personal opinion, hoping to help you.
