1. Process and time of trademark registration

1. Preparation of registration materials

2. Submission of registration application

3. Formal examination of the trademark in the Trademark Office (1-3 months)

4. Examination of the substance of the trademark (about 6-9 months): The Trademark Review and Adjudication Board checks whether the applied trademark complies with the Trademark Law.

5. announcement of preliminary examination (3 months): if no one raises any trademark objection within 3 months from the date of announcement of preliminary examination, the trademark will be registered and announced.

6. Waiting for the issuance of the registration certificate (about 1 month).

(It will take about one year to successfully register, and it will take longer in case of trademark rejection or trademark objection)

Second, to make the trademark easy to be certified, we can start from the following aspects

1. Trademark naming and graphic design should be significant

A trademark is a special logo that is different from other services or products. It must be significant when naming or designing, and avoid being similar or consistent with others.

2. Prepare more different trademark names or trademark graphics

Usually, one registered trademark is word mark (including Chinese, English and numerals), the other is a graphic trademark, and there is a combination trademark. In order to improve the pass rate of trademark registration, it is suggested to prepare more different trademarks in case it is similar to others' registered trademarks.

3. Separate registration of combined trademarks

Because elements such as words, English and graphics are examined separately during trademark registration examination, as long as one of the elements is similar to the registered trademarks of others, the whole combined trademark will be rejected. If a company or individual needs to register combined trademarks, it is suggested that words, graphics and so on be registered separately.

4. It is essential to make a trademark registration inquiry.

Usually, a large part of trademark registration failures are directly rejected by the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board because of various reasons, and the common reason is that they are the same as or similar to other people's registered trademarks, so it is very necessary to enter and exit the trademark registration inquiry.
