Trademark registration process 1. Formal review

After formal review, the application procedures are complete and the application documents are filled in as required, the Trademark Office will issue an acceptance notice.

If the application procedures are incomplete or the application documents are not filled in as required, a notice of rejection will be issued and returned, and the application date will not be retained.

If the application procedures are basically complete or the application documents basically comply with the regulations, but if supplements and corrections are needed, the Trademark Office will issue a notice of supplements and corrections to the trademark registration application. If the applicant makes corrections within the time limit and returns it to the Trademark Office, the application date will be retained; if the applicant fails to make corrections or makes corrections beyond the time limit, the Trademark Office will issue a notice of rejection and return it, and the application date will not be retained.

Trademark registration process 2. Substantive examination

After passing the formal examination, the trademark application enters the substantive examination. After substantive examination, any trademark application that complies with the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law will be initially reviewed and approved by the Trademark Office and announced.

If the application is rejected, a rejection notice will be issued to the applicant.

If the Trademark Office believes that the contents of the trademark registration application can be revised, it will issue an examination opinion. If the applicant responds within the time limit, the Trademark Office will continue the examination.

For trademarks that have been preliminarily approved after review, the China Trademark Office will announce them in the "Trademark Announcement".

Within three months from the date of announcement, anyone can object to a trademark initially approved by the China Trademark Office.

If there is no objection or the objection is ruled not to be established, the China Trademark Office will approve the registration, issue a trademark registration certificate, and announce it in the "Trademark Announcement"; if the objection is ruled to be true, the registration will not be approved.

Request for review

If the applicant is dissatisfied with the Trademark Office’s rejection of the trademark registration application during the trademark registration process, he or she may request a review from the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board. The Trademark Review and Adjudication Board will make a final decision on whether to grant registration or not, and notify the applicant in writing. If the party concerned is dissatisfied with the Trademark Office's objection ruling, he or she may request a review from the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board. The Trademark Review and Adjudication Board will make a final decision and notify the parties in writing. What do ?R? and ?TM? in the upper right corner of a registered trademark mean?

According to the revised "Implementing Rules of the Trademark Law", there are only three ways to mark a registered trademark, which is to add after the registered trademark: A. ?Registered trademark? Four Chinese characters, B, ?note?, with a circle outside the word note, C, ?R?, with a circle outside the R. Any other labeling methods are inconsistent with legal requirements. ?Note? is a Chinese character, which is obviously not as popular around the world as using (R), so we recommend that it is best to use (R).

TM is the abbreviation of TRADEMARK. American trademarks are usually marked with TM, which does not necessarily refer to a registered trademark. R is the abbreviation of REGISTER. When used in trademarks, it means registered trademark. my country's Trademark Law Implementation Regulations stipulate that when using a registered trademark, you can indicate "registered trademark" or registered mark on the goods, product packaging, instructions or other attachments. . When using a registered mark, it should be marked on the upper right corner or lower right corner of the trademark. Therefore, TM and R are trademark marks of different countries and have no special relationship. Some domestic companies do not understand the legal provisions and blindly imitate American companies and use the TM mark on their trademarks. How to register a brand trademark?
