Trademark registration certificate refers to the mark protection certification document issued by the Trademark Office to the applicant after the trademark application is successful, proving that the trademark has been registered and has the exclusive right to use it. The trademark registration certificate has legal effect and can protect trademark rights and interests in accordance with the law. Generally speaking, a trademark registration certificate is valid for 10 years and can be renewed.
The application process for a trademark registration certificate includes application, preliminary examination, announcement and substantive examination. Among them, substantive examination is the key to the issuance of a trademark registration certificate and a necessary condition for obtaining a trademark registration certificate. Applicants for trademark registration certificates must provide rigorous trademark registration materials to ensure that the trademark meets the registration requirements of the Trademark Office. If a trademark is rejected in the first instance, the applicant for the trademark registration certificate can submit a defense or resolve the matter through trademark rejection review.
In addition to protecting rights, the trademark registration certificate also has other functions.
