1, different reasons
The trademark was rejected because the trademark applied for registration did not conform to the principle of "prior application or registration" and violated the prohibition regulations. The Trademark Office rejected the application for trademark registration. Because the trademark application documents submitted by the applicant are incomplete or do not meet the relevant provisions, the trademark application will not be accepted.
2, the review object is different.
The trademark is rejected because it does not meet the conditions for approval and registration, so the object of examination can only be the trademark itself. Trademark applications are not accepted mainly because there are problems with the application materials, which only belong to the stage of formal examination, and the objects of examination are only trademark application documents and trademark forms.
3. The documents issued are different. After receiving an application for trademark registration, the Trademark Office mainly issues three kinds of notices: acceptance notice, correction notice and rejection notice. If the trademark is rejected, the Trademark Office will issue a Notice of Trademark Rejection.
4. Due to different refund policies, paying related fees is the last link in the trademark acceptance process. If the trademark is rejected, the application fee will not be refunded. However, if the application procedures are incomplete and the application documents are not filled out as required, the accepted trademark registration fee will not be charged. In other words, applications for trademark registration that are not accepted under normal circumstances have not been deducted.
