The process and cost of trademark registration

1. The enterprise trademark registration process is divided into the following steps:

1. Trademark submission

An enterprise submits an application for trademark registration to the Trademark Office.

2. Formal examination

The Trademark Office conducts formal examination on the registered trademarks submitted by enterprises to see whether they meet the requirements, and issues an acceptance notice if they meet the requirements; otherwise, the Trademark Office will not accept them.

3. substantive examination

after the formal examination of the registered trademark of an enterprise has passed, the Trademark Office will then conduct a substantive examination of the trademark. If the substantive examination meets the requirements, the Trademark Office will issue a preliminary examination and approval announcement. If the substantive examination does not meet the requirements, the Trademark Office will reject the trademark.

4. Trademark announcement

A registered trademark of an enterprise will enter a three-month announcement period after it has passed the substantive examination. During the announcement period, if no enterprise or individual objects to the registered trademark of the enterprise, the trademark will enter the registration announcement. If any enterprise or individual objects to the registered trademark of the enterprise, the enterprise trademark will enter the trademark objection period.

5. issue a trademark registration certificate

the trademark office will issue a trademark registration certificate for an enterprise that has entered the registration announcement, which means that the enterprise trademark registration has been successful.

II. Registration fee:

If the enterprise's trademark registration is handled by itself, the enterprise's trademark registration fee is 3 yuan (one category is limited to 1 goods/services in this category, and 3 yuan RMB will be added for more than one). At the same time, when the enterprise handles the application in the trademark registration hall, the enterprise trademark registration fee shall be paid at the same time as the application for registration is submitted. When obtaining the trademark registration certificate, the enterprise does not need to pay other trademark registration fees.
