2. substantive examination: according to the law, examine whether the trademark can be registered, whether it is the same as or similar to the previously registered trademark, and whether it violates the prohibition clause of the Trademark Law. For trademarks that fail the substantive examination, the examiner will notify the applicant in writing and inform the reasons for rejection. The applicant can submit the examination opinions within the time limit from the date of receiving the notice of rejection, otherwise the application will be regarded as abandoned, and the application date and application number will not be retained. The applicant can apply for an extension on the condition of paying the extension fee. Trademark examiners may conditionally accept certain applications for trademark registration and may require the applicant to give up the right to use certain words or graphics in the trademark.
3. Trademark announcement: After the trademark has passed the examination, notify the applicant that the trademark application has been accepted and publish it in the Trademark Announcement. Anyone can raise an objection within the two-month announcement period (the time limit for raising an objection can be extended by two months), state the reasons and submit relevant evidence.
