Perhaps because the Trademark Office’s trademark registration management automation system failed in 2014, the trademark review work has been stagnant for nearly four months, and the Trademark Office is prioritizing the backlog of cases.

Suggestions: 1. Go to the Trademark Office or the company that registered the trademark to check the current status of the trademark. 2. Pay more attention to the preliminary review announcement.

Normal trademark process: About 3 months after submitting the application, the Trademark Office will issue you an application acceptance notice. Then it enters the substantive review stage, which takes about 6-10 months. If the substantive examination is passed, the three-month announcement (objection period) will be entered. After the announcement period expires and no one raises objections, the registration certificate can be obtained. It usually takes 13-18 months to apply for a trademark from submitting the application to obtaining the certificate.
