1. After applying for a U.S. trademark, the U.S. Patent Office will conduct a formal review upon receipt of the registration application to determine whether it meets the basic requirements for trademark registration. If the requirements are met, a notification will be sent to the applicant two months after submitting the application. If the requirements are not met, all materials including the application fee will be returned to the applicant.

2. Obtain a receipt document after submitting the U.S. trademark registration application. It is then up to the official examiner to review and decide whether the trademark can be registered. Trademark examination may result in notification of change or rejection, and the applicant must respond within six months after receiving the notification, otherwise the application will be terminated.

3. After the trademark passes the review, it will be published in the official U.S. bulletin. Within 30 days thereafter, any trademark owner may file an objection to the trademark application.

4. Receive the trademark registration certificate. If the application is based on prior actual use of the trademark and no objection is raised, a registration certificate will be issued after 3 months.
