Legal analysis: 1. First, determine what products or services your trademark is applied to;
2. according to the product or service, determine which category of trademark you want to register;
3. Take the trademark name, make an approximate query on the trademark, and rename it if there is one, otherwise the trademark will not be applied; We can inquire through the inquiry system on the official website of the Trademark Office, or we can send it to an agency to help you inquire. 4. Prepare relevant materials and file a trademark registration with the Trademark Office;
5. The Trademark Office conducts a review, which is divided into formal review and substantive review.
The formal review lasts for 3-4 months, and the trademark acceptance notice will be received if the formal review passes, and the trademark that fails will be rejected.
the time for substantive examination is 6-7 months. If the substantive examination meets the requirements, it will enter the announcement of the preliminary examination and approval of the trademark and receive a notice of announcement. If it does not meet the requirements, it will be rejected.
in the process of registration, all trademarks may be rejected, approximated, revoked and objected. I believe this is also a problem that everyone who registers trademarks wants to know and should pay attention to. After all, no matter how smooth a trademark registration process is, it will take at least one year. No one wants to get the news that the trademark cannot be registered after waiting for such a long time.
6. Trademark announcement: After the trademark has passed the examination, it will enter the preliminary examination announcement (note the time is 3 months). If no one raises any objection to the trademark during the preliminary examination announcement, then the trademark will be registered successfully.
