What is the announcement of trademark preliminary examination? Is it the same as the trademark registration announcement?
Lawyer Ma Yingqiu replied: Hello, I am glad to answer your question "What is the announcement of preliminary examination of trademarks". After examination, the Trademark Office considers that the trademark applied for registration conforms to the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law, and makes a preliminary examination and makes an announcement, which is called a "preliminary examination announcement" and also serves as a notice to the trademark applicant. The preliminary examination and approval of the announced trademark does not mean the approval of registration, that is to say, the trademark applicant has not yet obtained the exclusive right to use the trademark, and the trademark will only be approved and registered if the trademark office issues a registration announcement without making a proposal or if the proposal is ruled invalid during the announcement period. If, within three months from the date of announcement, it is considered that the preliminarily approved trademark violates the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law, it may file an objection with the Trademark Office. Is the announcement of preliminary examination the same as the announcement of trademark registration? The time of these two announcements is different, and the status of trademark rights they represent is also different; Announcement of preliminary examination of trademarks: it is an announcement made by the Trademark Office after the substantive examination and the preliminary approval of trademark registration. There is still a three-month objection period after the announcement. At this time, the trademark has not been fully registered, because after three months of objection announcement, no one raised an objection to complete the trademark registration. Trademark registration announcement: It is an announcement that after the end of the three-month objection period, no one raised an objection or someone raised an objection, but the other party's objection reason could not be supported by the Trademark Office, so that the Trademark Office passed the examination of the original trademark, representing that the trademark has been successfully registered. If you know something about trademark announcements, you can see that there are many divisions of trademark announcements, including trademark registration announcements.
