1. After the application is submitted, the submitted application documents, trademark drawings, and power of attorney will be reviewed for legality. If they comply with the regulations, the application date and application number will be awarded.

2. Examine whether the trademark is registrable according to the law, whether it is identical or similar to a previously registered trademark, and whether it violates the prohibition provisions of the trademark law. For a trademark that fails substantive examination, the examining officer will notify the applicant in writing and inform the applicant of the reasons for rejection. The applicant may submit a reexamination within the time limit from the date of receipt of the rejection notice. Otherwise, the application will be deemed abandoned, and the application date and application number will not be retained.

3. After the trademark application is deemed acceptable after review, an announcement will be published on the Italian Official Trademark Gazette.

4. Trademarks that are determined to be registrable after opposition, or trademarks that are announced as having no objections will be approved for registration and a registration certificate will be issued.

5. The trademark is valid for 10 years. After 10 years, it will be automatically renewed for another 10-year period.
