Individual registration trademark process 1. Prepare the relevant information for trademark registration and apply to the Trademark Office. You will get a receipt on the same day, which is marked with the "acceptance" stamp of the Trademark Office through the center and the date of receipt. This proves that the Trademark Office has received the relevant application documents. 2. When the Trademark Office accepts the application materials, it will issue an acceptance notice in about one month, which proves to the applicant that the application documents have passed the formal examination. 3. About one to one and a half years after the acceptance notice is issued, the substantive examination will be completed and the Trademark Office will issue a preliminary examination announcement. 4. The preliminary examination announcement lasts for three months. If no one raises any objection during these three months, the Trademark Office will issue a registration announcement to prove that the trademark has been approved. 5. Applicants will be able to obtain the trademark registration certificate in about one month after the registration announcement is published.
