there is a risk of blind period in trademark registration, because in the inquiry process before trademark registration, due to the influence of data processing and trademark application review period, some previously applied trademarks cannot enter the database, so it is impossible to query and retrieve this part of information. In addition, there will be a three-month public announcement after the first trial is passed, and during this period, it is impossible to avoid malicious objections to your trademark. If the objection is valid, then your trademark will be rejected! The notice of acceptance means that this notice indicates that the Trademark Office has received the application materials and accepted them, but it does not mean that the trademark has been approved for registration. Therefore, the trademark registration agent can only be sure to get the acceptance notice, and the trademark registration can only estimate the risk.
Explanation of trademark acceptance:
According to the relevant provisions of China's Trademark Law and its implementing regulations, the Trademark Office will accept an application for trademark registration with complete application procedures and fill in the application documents as required, and notify the applicant in writing. The Notice of Acceptance of Registration Application only indicates that the Trademark Office has received the applicant's trademark application, but does not indicate that the applied trademark has been approved for registration. After issuing the Notice of Acceptance of Registration Application, the Trademark Office will examine the trademark application according to law, so as to decide whether to approve the registration. The registered trademark shall be subject to the trademark announcement. At present, some people in the society misunderstand the Notice of Acceptance of Registration Application, and think that the applicant's acquisition of the Notice of Acceptance of Registration Application is equivalent to the acquisition of the exclusive right to use a trademark, which has caused some adverse effects.
