What is the process of entrusting a trademark agency to handle it?
After receiving the application documents submitted by the trademark agency, the Trademark Office will review the application documents. If the trademark registration application procedures are complete, the application documents are filled out in accordance with the regulations and the fees are paid, the Trademark Office will generally accept it. If the application procedures are incomplete, the application documents are not filled in as required, or the fees are not paid, the Trademark Office will not accept the application.
The application procedures are basically complete or the application documents are in compliance with the regulations, but if they need to be corrected, the Trademark Office will notify the applicant to make corrections. The applicant must make corrections according to the specified content and return the trademark within 30 days from the date of notification. bureau. If corrections are made within the prescribed time limit and returned to the Trademark Office, the application date will be retained. If corrections are not made within the time limit or corrections are not made in accordance with regulations, the trademark situation will not be accepted. Why does it sometimes take a long time to receive a trademark registration application notice?
Starting from May 1, 2014, the Trademark Office has adjusted the trademark registration application acceptance and review process in accordance with the newly revised Trademark Law Implementation Regulations, and will scan codes, enter, classify graphic elements, and classify trademarks into The formal review work such as card, trademark service classification, and financial reconciliation has been adjusted to before the issuance of the acceptance notice.
The trademark registration application needs to be supplemented and corrected. The supplements and corrections should be made in accordance with the requirements, and the acceptance notice can only be issued after the financial reconciliation is successful. Therefore, the issuance time of the acceptance notice will be longer than before the implementation of the new Trademark Law Implementation Regulations. We hope that trademark applicants will understand.
