What is the difference between a trademark being rejected and not being accepted?
The main differences are:

(1) Different reasons:

The trademark was rejected because the trademark applied for registration did not conform to the principle of "prior application or registration" and violated the prohibition regulations. The Trademark Office rejected the application for trademark registration.

Because the trademark application documents submitted by the applicant are incomplete or do not meet the relevant provisions, the trademark application will not be accepted.

(B) the review object is different

The trademark is rejected because it does not meet the conditions for approval and registration, so the object of examination can only be the trademark itself.

Trademark applications are not accepted mainly because there are problems with the application materials, which only belong to the stage of formal examination, and the objects of examination are only trademark application documents and trademark forms.

(3) The documents issued are different

After receiving an application for trademark registration, the Trademark Office mainly issues three kinds of notices: acceptance notice, correction notice and rejection notice. If the trademark is rejected, the Trademark Office will issue a Notice of Trademark Rejection.

Different refund policies.

Paying related fees is the last link in the trademark acceptance process.

If the trademark is rejected, the application fee will not be refunded.

Under normal circumstances, applications for trademark registration that are not accepted are not deducted. If the application procedures are incomplete and the application documents are not filled in as required, the registration fee for trademark acceptance will not be charged.
