Trademark objection is a legal procedure for soliciting public opinions on the preliminary examination and approval of trademarks, which is clearly stipulated in the Trademark Law and the Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law. If you have different opinions on the preliminary examination and approval of a trademark, you may file an objection application with the Trademark Office within 3 months from the date of the announcement of the preliminary examination and approval.
Where an objection is raised to a trademark preliminarily approved and announced by the Trademark Office, the objector shall submit the following trademark objection materials in duplicate to the Trademark Office, and indicate the original and copy:
(1) trademark objection application. The application for trademark objection shall have a clear request and factual basis, and be accompanied by relevant evidential materials.
(2) the identity certificate of the dissident.
(3) explain the reasons, facts and legal basis of the objection, and attach relevant evidence materials. The objection statement shall be signed by the objector or stamped with the official seal of the enterprise.
(4) Where an objection is raised on the grounds of violating the provisions of Article 13, paragraphs 2 and 3, Article 15, Article 16, paragraph 1, Article 30, Article 31 and Article 32 of the Trademark Law, the objection shall be proved by the prior obligee or interested party.
(5) Where a trademark agency is entrusted to handle the objection application, a power of attorney for trademark agency shall be submitted. The power of attorney shall specify the agent's agency authority, agency matters and the authorization date of the corresponding trademark. A trademark agency cannot accept the entrustment of both parties at the same time in the same trademark objection case.
