2. After accepting the application, the competent authority will conduct prior trademark search, and at the same time submit the application to all member countries for prior trademark search. Each member country will conduct a prior trademark search in 2005. 3? Send the search report to the internal market coordination bureau within the month;
3. After receiving the retrieval report from the member countries, the competent authority shall provide the retrieval report together with the retrieval report of this bureau to the applicant for reference;
4. The competent authority shall not conduct substantive examination of the trademark application. If the application is initially accepted for registration, it will be announced. Three months from the date of announcement is the objection period, and any natural person or legal person in 28 member countries has the right to object to the trademark. If there is no objection or the objection is untenable, the trademark shall be registered;

If there is reason to believe that the reexamination ruling of the EU Trademark Review and Adjudication Board violates the provisions of the Rome Treaty or the * * * on the same trademark, he can also appeal to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.
