The applicant submits the application documents to the German Trademark Office, and the German Trademark Office will formally review the submitted application documents. Trademark documents that pass the examination will be awarded the application date and application number. For trademark documents that fail to pass the examination, the Trademark Office will notify the applicant and ask the applicant to modify the trademark documents within the specified time. A trademark that has passed the examination will enter a substantive examination to examine whether the trademark can be registered and whether it complies with the provisions of the Trademark Law. If there is any problem with the trademark document, notify the trademark applicant and ask the applicant to modify the trademark document within the prescribed time limit and resubmit it to the Trademark Office. No problem trademark documents will enter the trademark announcement period, and the trademark will be announced in the official trademark announcement. Anyone can object to the trademark documents during the trademark announcement period, or object to the trademark documents without objection during the announcement period. When an applicant applies for trademark registration in Germany, he will usually receive the reply document, acceptance date and acceptance number within 6 weeks. In the case that the necessary legal procedures for trademark application are very smooth, it usually takes about 6-9 months.
