What registration process does a French trademark need to go through?

1. Trademark search: Before submitting registration information, we first need to conduct an advance search. This can effectively avoid similar or identical trademarks during the trademark review process.

2. Trademark review: French trademarks will enter the review stage after submitting the acknowledgment document. The content is generally to determine whether the submitted application documents are complete, whether the applied trademark is distinctive, whether it violates the prohibition provisions of the Trademark Law, etc. If the trademark review fails, the applicant can make modifications or cancel the application according to the specific circumstances.

3. Announcement of objections: After the trademark passes the review, the relevant information will be published in the trademark announcement. Anyone can raise an objection within the 2-month announcement period. Due to recent changes to the trademark opposition procedure, it is now possible to file a trademark opposition based on multiple prior rights.

4. Registration approval: If there are no objections during the announcement period, the trademark will be approved for registration and a registration certificate will be issued.
