How long does it usually take for a trademark rejection review? I think this question is faced by every applicant who encounters a trademark rejection review. Is this time long or short? One year? How many days will it take? I believe that only by knowing these contents can we improve the success rate of our trademark in the rejection review process. Today I will analyze for you how long does it usually take to review a trademark rejection?
When a trademark is rejected, the applicant will receive a trademark rejection notice from the Trademark Office. The first step is to look at the postmark time on the notification letter, because there is a 15-day time limit for rejection review, and generally 15 days is the time limit based on the postmark time.
The specific time for trademark objection review is as follows:
1. 3 months: Any interested party or prior rights holder may review a trademark that has passed the preliminary review within 3 months of the trademark announcement period. Raise an objection.
2. 12 months: The Trademark Office shall make a decision on the trademark objection within 12 months after the end of the announcement period. If there are special circumstances, it may be extended for another 6 months.
3. 15 days: If the trademark objection is successful, the trademark applicant can submit an objection review to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board within 15 days.
4. 12 months: The Trademark Review and Adjudication Board shall make a decision on the trademark objection review within 12 months. In case of special circumstances, it may be extended for another 6 months.
5. 30 days: If the objection review result fails, the trademark applicant can file a lawsuit with the People's Court within 30 days from the date of receiving the notice
