How long does it take for a trademark to pass the registration after the initial publicity?
Subjectivity of law:

It will take about three months for a trademark to pass the registration after the initial public announcement, but if within three months, the prior obligee or interested party thinks that it violates the provisions of Article 13, paragraphs 2 and 3, Article 15, Article 16, paragraph 1, Article 3, Article 31 and Article 32 of this Law, or anyone thinks that it violates Article 4, Article 1 and Article 32 of this Law. Legal objectivity:

1. How long does it take for a trademark to pass the general announcement of registration after the initial public announcement? The initial public announcement period is 3 months. The announcement of the preliminary examination of a trademark means that the trademark registration application is allowed to be registered if it meets the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law after examination. And make an announcement in the Trademark Announcement. No objection is raised within three months from the date of publication of the preliminary examination announcement, and the trademark shall be registered, and the registration announcement shall be published at the same time. If no one raises an objection within three months or the objection is ruled invalid, the trademark will become effective and a registration certificate will be issued. Second, how to deal with the objection during the announcement period of trademark preliminary examination 1. After the trademark is objected, please file a trademark objection reply within the specified time. After accepting the trademark objection, the Trademark Office will issue a Notice of Objection Reply to the trademark applicant, requiring the trademark applicant to state the facts and reasons for the trademark objection within the specified time limit and provide written objection reply materials. For trademark applicants, they can choose to provide materials or not to provide relevant materials after receiving the notice, which does not affect the objection procedure. However, judging from the practice of objection, it is helpful for the Trademark Office to make an objection ruling if the trademark applicant can provide evidence that is beneficial to him for the reasons of objection. Although it may not affect the final ruling conclusion, the applicant has at least done his duty. 2. Considering the trademark objection ruling in many aspects, whether to file an objection review According to the provisions of the new Trademark Law, if the Trademark Office makes an objection ruling to grant registration, the objected trademark can be registered, and the objector can't file a review, and the trademark applicant can get a trademark registration certificate. If a ruling is made not to register, the trademark applicant (the objected) may file an application for objection review with the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board. The provisions here are quite different from those in the old Trademark Law. During the implementation of the old Trademark Law, a large number of objection reexaminations were filed with the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board because the objection failed, and some reexaminations were filed by the objector (trademark applicant) because the objection was established. After the implementation of the new Trademark Law, the trademark has obtained the right to register after the objection fails, and the objector can no longer file an objection review, but can only file a dispute with the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board. Therefore, after the implementation of the new law, the number of objection review should be greatly reduced. Trademark applicants need to be cautious when the objection is established, and then decide whether to start the objection review procedure after considering the specific circumstances. 3. Accepting the results of review or initiating judicial proceedings The new law abolished the practice of administrative final ruling, and added judicial relief procedures on the basis of retaining the objection review procedure, that is, according to the second paragraph of Article 33 of the new law, if a party refuses to accept the objection review ruling of the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board, he may bring a suit in a people's court within 3 days from the date of receiving the notice. The people's court shall notify the other party to the trademark reexamination procedure to participate in the proceedings as a third party. Although the rationality of adopting administrative litigation mode in trademark review cases is debatable, it provides the parties with the ultimate remedy as a right-judicial relief. As a result, trademark objection cases are subject to a four-level trial system of administrative second instance and judicial second instance, namely, the Trademark Office's objection ruling, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board's objection review ruling, the court of first instance's judgment and the court of second instance's final judgment. This result is closely related to the distribution of functions between the Trademark Office and the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board. How long does it take for a trademark to pass the registration after the initial public announcement? Article 3 of the Trademark Law stipulates that anyone can raise an objection to a trademark that has been preliminarily approved within three months from the date of announcement. If there is no objection at the expiration of the announcement period, the registration shall be approved, a trademark registration certificate shall be issued and an announcement shall be made.
