Steps of trademark registration:
1. Retrieval
The purpose of pre-application retrieval is to inquire whether there is a prior application that conflicts with the trademark to be registered, so as to reduce the risk of application rejection. However, at present, there is a hidden filing period for the inquiry (the time period from the receipt of the application documents by the Trademark Office to the entry into the computer database), which is generally 3-4 months.
2. Providing information
1. Electronic files of trademark patterns or words
2. Choosing trademark classification
3. ID card or enterprise certification documents
4. Signing or stamping the power of attorney
3. Process
After signing the Agency Contract with us and paying the fee, we can submit the application within 3 working days. You can receive a notice of trademark acceptance from the Trademark Office in about a month. It takes about eight months from the acceptance to the examination of the qualified announcement, and the certificate will be authorized and issued within three months after the announcement without objection. Once a trademark is approved for registration, it can be protected for ten years and can be renewed once every ten years.
the whole application process takes about 12 months, and its process is:
applicant → agent → State Trademark Office → formal review → substantive review → typesetting and printing → preliminary announcement → registration announcement → issuance of registration certificate → agency handing over to the applicant.
