Rejections often occur during trademark registration in Guiyang. At this time, companies may panic and feel that the trademark cannot be approved, but in fact, sometimes, the trademark is rejected and It is not necessarily necessary to reject all the applications. It is possible that the application is rejected due to objections regardless of the categories. In this case, the approved categories can be retained first, which is what is called trademark division in the Trademark Law.

The trademark division mentioned here is not to divide the pattern and text of the trademark, but to divide the goods or service categories originally designated for use by the trademark, retain the goods or service categories approved by the Trademark Office, and remove the unidentified goods or services. If approved, the name and graphics of the trademark will remain unchanged. Faced with the risk of registration failure due to partial rejection of the trademark, the applicant chooses to apply for trademark division to minimize the time cost of applying for a registered trademark, which is also conducive to timely development.

After a trademark is partially rejected, the trademark split includes three situations according to the applicant’s different attitudes:

① If the applicant does not conduct a reexamination, the Trademark Office will enter the trademark for preliminary review The parts that are not approved for registration will be automatically separated from the parts that are not approved for registration. The part of the trademark that has passed the review will directly enter the preliminary review and announcement period and continue to complete the subsequent trademark registration process.

② If the applicant is dissatisfied with the rejection by the Trademark Office and needs to undergo a rejection review and is eager to use the trademark that has been reviewed, the applicant can apply for rejection review and manual division at the same time. The approved part of the trademark will be divided into another new trademark and a new application number will be generated, but the filing date of the original application will be retained. The new trademark will continue to go through the subsequent trademark registration process.

③ If the applicant wants to apply for rejection review and is not planning to apply for division, the part of the trademark that has been reviewed will not enter the preliminary review announcement period, and it will need to wait for the review result of the entire trademark to be released before it can enter the subsequent trademark Registration process.
