How long does it take after submitting an opposition application during the trademark preliminary examination announcement period before the opposition notice is sent to the opposed party?

After your trademark passes the preliminary examination, there will be a three-month announcement period, that is, from 2009-12-7 to 2010-2-6. During this period, anyone has the right to object.

The reason why you received the objection notice on July 11, 2010 is because the Trademark Review and Adjudication Review and Adjudication Board has officially started processing the objection application submitted by the opponent.

Although nominally your trademark has been approved for registration, it actually depends on the outcome of the objection two or three years later. If the objection is not established, your trademark exclusive rights will continue to be valid and can be used for ten years. However, if the objection is established, the exclusive right to use the trademark in the objected part will be declared invalid.
