What are the basic stages of trademark registration? As follows:

Application stage: Prepare all kinds of materials needed for trademark registration, including trademark drawings, application forms, power of attorney, etc., fill them in according to the prescribed format and requirements, and submit them to China National Intellectual Property Administration or the Trademark Office.

formal examination stage: after receiving the application, the Trademark Office first conducts formal examination to check whether the application documents are complete and conform to the legal provisions. If there are problems with the application documents, the Trademark Office will notify the applicant to make corrections.

substantive examination stage: after the formal examination is passed, the Trademark Office will conduct substantive examination of the trademark, including the similarity, distinctiveness and legality of the trademark pattern. If the trademark does not meet the legal requirements, the Trademark Office will reject the application.

announcement stage: if the trademark passes the substantive examination, the Trademark Office will make an announcement to openly solicit public objections. The announcement period is generally three months, during which the public can raise objections.

registration stage: if no objection is raised within the announcement period, or the objection is not established, the Trademark Office will approve the registration and issue a trademark registration certificate.

maintenance stage: after the trademark is registered, it needs to be inspected and renewed in accordance with the regulations to maintain the legitimacy and effectiveness of the trademark.

the above is the basic process of trademark registration, and the specific processes and requirements may be different in different countries and regions. When registering a trademark, it is recommended to consult a local lawyer or intellectual property agency to ensure the legality and effectiveness of the process.
