1. Trademark query: Before submitting an application for Italian trademark registration, it is recommended to check whether there are identical or similar trademarks on Huoming.com, which can improve the efficiency and success rate of registration;

2. Submit an application: After a trademark search determines that there is no identical or similar trademark, the trademark applicant can entrust an agent to submit a trademark registration application to the Italian Patent and Trademark Office and enter the review process;

3. Formal review: After receiving the application, the Italian Patent and Trademark Office will conduct a formal review of the applied trademark, including the legality of the application documents, trademark drawings, power of attorney and other documents. If the review is passed, the application date and application number will be granted;

4. Substantive review: Italy implements a double review. After the formal review, it also needs to go through a substantive review. The content of the substantive examination includes whether the trademark is identical or similar, whether it violates the provisions of the relevant trademark law, etc. If the review fails, the review officer will notify the applicant in writing and inform the applicant of the reasons. The applicant can submit a review within the specified time, otherwise, the application will be deemed abandoned, and the application date and application number will not be retained;

5. Trademark announcement: If the trademark passes the substantive examination, The Italian Patent and Trademark Office will publish an announcement of this trademark in the German official trademark announcement. The announcement period is 3 months (others can raise objections during this announcement period. Once the trademark is opposed by others, the applicant can respond);

6. Registration approval: If there are no objections during the announcement period, or if there are objections but the applicant’s defense is successful, the Italian Patent and Trademark Office will approve the registration and issue a registration certificate. The entire smooth application process (if there are no rejections, objections, etc.) takes about 3-6 months.
