Trademark application supplementation means that the National Trademark Office makes suggestions for modifications to the trademark registration application that do not comply with the relevant provisions of the "Trademark Law". The purpose is to make the revised trademark registration application comply with the "Trademark Law" Regulation. Generally speaking, the Trademark Office requires corrections because when you submitted your trademark application, the application procedures were basically complete or the application documents basically complied with the regulations, but some content or written materials did not meet the requirements. The Trademark Office will issue a "Notice of Supplement and Correction of Trademark Registration Application", which requires the applicant to make corrections according to the specified content and return it to the Trademark Office within 30 days from the date of receipt of the notice. If corrections are made and returned to the Trademark Office within the prescribed time limit, the application date will be retained; if corrections are not made within the time limit or corrections are not made as required, the application will not be accepted.
