How do individuals apply for trademarks?
1. Application stage: After the application documents are prepared and submitted to the expired Trademark Office, you can get the receipt of the submission list from the Trademark Office on the same day, which proves that the Trademark Office has received the relevant application documents.
2. Formal review stage: Notice of acceptance is issued about 1 month from the date when the Trademark Office receives the application documents, which means that the application documents have passed the formal review of the Trademark Office and entered the substantive review stage. The acceptance notice of each trademark application has the application number, and the substantive examination must be carried out in order, and under no circumstances can it be advanced.
3. Announcement stage of preliminary examination: after accepting the notice, the substantive examination will be completed in about 8-9 months. If the announcement passes the substantive examination, the Trademark Office will issue a preliminary examination and approval announcement for a period of three months.
4. Trademark registration stage: If no objection is raised at the expiration of the preliminary examination announcement, the Trademark Office will issue a registration announcement to prove that the trademark has been approved and the applicant for trademark registration has obtained the exclusive right to use the trademark.
5. The stage of obtaining the registration certificate: the trademark registration certificate can be obtained in about one month from the date of issuing the registration announcement.
