Moreover, some short-term trademarks cannot be searched during the search because the Trademark Office has not entered them into the system. This is the trademark blind period. . Trademark applications follow the first-to-file principle. If an identical or similar trademark is encountered during the blind period, it will also be rejected later.
②The trademark is illegal. A trademark that violates the regulations stipulated in the Trademark Law will definitely be rejected, and it is difficult to succeed through review. For example, signs including country names, national flags, national anthems, etc. cannot be registered as trademarks. There are also some common names or signs that lack distinctiveness and cannot be registered as trademarks.
③Objections during the announcement period. Even if a trademark passes substantive examination, there are still certain risks during the announcement period, because within three months of the announcement period, anyone can file an objection to the trademark application.
