There is no official fee for handling objection defense, only the service fee of the entrusted agent. Generally, the service fee for defense is about 2500-3500, depending on the difficulty of the case.

If you do not hire an agency to defend your case, it will be free of charge to defend your case yourself. But the effect may not be good. If you think this trademark is important, it is best to entrust an agency, because it involves many legal factors and defense skills. The cost is usually several thousand yuan, which can be negotiated by yourself.

Time limit for defense

The Trademark Law stipulates that the opposed party must submit defense materials to the Trademark Office within 30 days from the date of receipt of the trademark objection letter. According to the provisions of Article 10 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law", if the party submits the defense and relevant evidence materials directly, the date of submission shall prevail; if it is mailed, the date of the postmark shall prevail. If the postmark date is unclear or there is no postmark, the actual date of receipt by the Trademark Office shall prevail. However, this is excepted if the party concerned can provide evidence of the actual postmark date. Although the law stipulates this proviso, the parties concerned should try their best to send the objection reply within the objection period and ensure that the postmark is clear to avoid unnecessary trouble. If the respondent's defense materials are submitted by mail and the postmark date is unclear, the date of actual receipt by the Trademark Office will be the date of defense. If the actual receipt date exceeds the statutory opposition period, it may result in a ruling being made, which will inevitably have an adverse impact on the interested parties and will also have a negative impact on the Trademark Office’s opposition review work.

Regardless of whether the opposed party fails to respond or fails to respond within the prescribed time limit, the Trademark Office will make a ruling in accordance with the law.
