First of all, we need to know what the definition of trademark rejection is! Rejection review means that during the trademark application process, the Trademark Office believes that the trademark registration application violates the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law, and therefore rejects the application without review. Rejection is inevitable. We usually analyze the reasons for rejection and then propose a trademark rejection review. Generally, there is a chance, but the probability is very low and it is difficult to successfully register. There are two types of trademark rejections: relative rejection and rejection. Let’s take a look at the respective meanings:

Relative rejection means that the applied trademark is similar in whole or in part to a previously applied or registered trademark.

Rejection means that the trademark application violates the provisions of the Trademark Law and cannot be registered as a trademark. What is not allowed! Let me give you a few examples: such as (China, the United States, Beijing, Zhongnanhai, etc.) national emblems and curse words are not allowed (seeking death, crazy, bastard, etc.)! Military emblems, international organization emblems, red cross, red crescent, national discriminatory and deceptive, harmful moral trends and adverse effects.

Of course, rejection can be remedied. Let’s take a look at the remedies for rejection review

According to the provisions of the Trademark Law, the trademark applicant can start from the date of receipt of the rejection notice. Within fifteen days, submit a review application to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board. The parties concerned shall apply for trademark review within the time limit specified by law. Due to force majeure or other legitimate reasons, you can apply for an extension of 30 days before expiration. However, the extension fee shall be paid by the applicant. The extension application shall be submitted within 15 days from the date of receipt of the rejection notice from the Trademark Office, and the extension period shall be calculated from the 16th day. Of course, this article is based on a relatively rejected trademark. Trademark rejection is the reason for rejection. It is not recommended to apply for a rejection review. If the trademark is relatively rejected, it is recommended that you consult an intellectual property lawyer with professional background in time to determine whether the trademark is similar according to the trademark review standards. Make a judgment to decide whether to apply for rejection review.

In fact, some reasons for rejection can also be applied for review, but some relatively reasons for rejection cannot be applied for review. This requires time to fax the trademark rejection notice to a professional trademark attorney for review.

If the relevant professional agent feels that it is possible to apply for a rejection review after comprehensive legal checks, the following information will generally be submitted:

1. Letter of authorization;

2. Copy of business license;

3. Rejected trademark registration application, refutation/objection ruling (with envelope from the Trademark Office), evidence materials
