Except for the requirement of individual business license, the process of applying for trademarks by individuals is the same as that of enterprises. You can entrust an intellectual property agency to submit an application for trademark registration to the Trademark Office, or you can submit it yourself;

before submitting the application, you must determine the pattern of the trademark, select the category of goods or services to be used and the specific name. How to use the trademark is how to register, so you should consider the actual use when initially determining the trademark and category;

After the application is submitted, the Trademark Office will conduct formal examination and substantive examination. After the examination is passed, it will issue a notice of preliminary examination and approval. The notice period is 3 months. If no prior obligee or interested party raises any objection during the notice period, the trademark will be approved for registration, and the Trademark Office will issue a trademark registration certificate.

if it fails to pass the review, a rejection notice will be issued. It takes about 12 months for the whole process to go down.
