If the trademark review application is sent and received by mail, the calculation of the 15-day review time limit shall take the postmark date of the letter received and sent by the local post office as the date of receipt and sending by the parties concerned; If the postmark is unclear or there is no postmark, the date marked by the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (hereinafter referred to as the Trademark Office) will be postponed for 2 days as the date of receipt by the party concerned, or the date of receipt of the trademark review application by the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (hereinafter referred to as the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board) for 2 days will be regarded as the date of issuance by the party concerned.

Four, because the time limit review of the extension application can only be carried out when the application for re-examination is received, therefore, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board does not carry out the time limit review when it receives the extension application, but carries out the time limit review together with the formal review documents. If it exceeds the statutory time limit, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board will not accept it and notify the parties or agents in writing. 1. Power of attorney; 2. A copy of the business license; 3. Rejected trademark registration application, refutation/objection ruling (envelope with trademark office) and evidence rejection are common review results in the process of trademark registration application, which usually include rejection in violation of prohibitive provisions, rejection of trademark that is not significant, rejection that conflicts with prior trademark rights (referring to prior application or prior registration), etc. According to Article 32 of the Trademark Law, an application for rejection and review can be filed with the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board. The first two kinds of rejection review only involve the Trademark Office and the rejected trademark applicant, but the third kind, that is, the rejection review that conflicts with the prior trademark right, is more complicated. The author mainly discusses this kind of rejection review. This kind of rejection review involves the Trademark Office, the rejected trademark applicant and the prior trademark obligee. If the rejected trademark applicant has no dispute about the right of the prior trademark cited by the Trademark Office, it is nothing special to file a rejection review only because the goods are not similar and the trademarks are not similar. However, if the rejected trademark applicant disputes the cited prior trademark rights, he thinks that the cited trademark application is a malicious cybersquatting violation of the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law, or infringes on the rejected trademark applicant's prior enterprise name right, patent right, copyright, etc., that is, he thinks that the cited prior trademark rights themselves are illegally obtained and should not be an obstacle to the rejected trademark application for registration. Because this kind of rejection review is no longer limited to the review of the trademark office's ruling, but involves the interests of the third party, which has the characteristics similar to trademark legal affairs such as objection and revocation, the situation becomes more complicated.
