If you entrust an agency to handle the application, you also need to pay an agency fee of about 700 yuan to the agency. Application procedures: 1. First search for the trademark. If there is no identical or similar one before, you can prepare application documents and submit the application; 2. About 10-20 days after the application is submitted, the Trademark Office will issue you a Notice of application acceptance (this period is called the formal review stage). 3. After the formal review is completed, it will enter the substantive review stage, which will take about one to one and a half years. 4. If the substantive examination is passed, it will enter the announcement procedure (this period is 3 months, also called the objection period); 5. After the announcement period expires, no one raises any objection. The law is objective:
