The Trademark Law stipulates that the licensor shall supervise the quality of the goods in which the licensee uses its registered trademark. The licensee shall guarantee the quality of the goods using the registered trademark. Where a registered trademark of another person is used with permission, the name of the licensee and the place of origin of the goods must be marked on the goods using the registered trademark.
The use of trademarks is not based on registration, that is, you can use them even if you don't have a registered trademark. Generally speaking, trademark registration and authorization takes about one year. After the trademark preliminary examination announcement is passed, the trademark certificate can be obtained in about 2 months. Special reminder is that trademark registration must be preceded by trademark inquiry.
