There are two reasons why the online application is still in the status of "update" on the next working day: first, some data formats of the application (such as the data format of trademark patterns) do not meet the requirements; Second, the online application system of the Trademark Office failed. If the online application system fails, the Trademark Office will issue a rolling announcement on the home page of the system, and the applicant or the trademark agency entrusted by it shall confirm whether the submission is successful after the Trademark Office issues a troubleshooting announcement. If some data formats of the application (such as the data format of the trademark pattern) do not meet the requirements, the applicant or the trademark agency organization entrusted by it shall contact the system administrator in time (contact information of the system administrator: efiling@saic.gov.cn). If it is confirmed that the data format does not meet the requirements, it will be deemed that the application has not been submitted successfully, the application date will not be kept, and the online application will be deleted, but the applicant or the trademark agency entrusted by it may submit another written application. 3) If it is not found, it means that the application has not been submitted successfully. Important note: If the online application is still in the "update" status on the next working day, you should first check whether the rolling announcement on the homepage of the online trademark application system has relevant information released by the system administrator; If not, you should contact the system administrator immediately.
