When registering a trademark in France, it is not a compulsory procedure for the French Industrial Property Office to inquire before trademark registration, and the inquiry result is not equal to the examination result. However, the report results of prior trademark records can be obtained from the trademark database of the French Industrial Property Office. The pre-registration inquiry of French trademarks can greatly reduce the risk of the whole trademark registration process.

2. Submit a French trademark registration application.

Before submitting the registration application, the French trademark registration applicant should prepare the materials required for French trademark registration, including: the applicant's qualification certificate, clear trademark pattern, listing the goods or services designated for trademark registration, the trademark registration power of attorney of the trademark agency selected by the applicant, and paying relevant fees.

3. Notice of Acceptance of French Trademark

When receiving the application materials for trademark registration, the staff of the French Industrial Property Office will check the application documents for trademark registration, check whether the application for trademark registration is complete, whether the relevant materials are correct, whether the materials required for application are complete, and whether the fees paid for registration application have been paid. If there is no problem, they will issue the trademark application number to the applicant and inform the applicant that the trademark registration application is accepted.

4, French trademark registration review

When the French Industrial Property Office issues a notice of trademark acceptance, it will appoint an examiner to examine the application for trademark registration to decide whether the trademark can be registered.

5, French trademark registration announcement.

Once the application for registration of the trademark has passed the examination of the examiner of the French Industrial Property Office, the trademark will be published until the official trademark announcement is issued.

6. Approval of registration

During the three-month announcement period, if the trademark is not raised by any party or the objection is unfounded, the French Industrial Property Office will approve the registration of the trademark.
