1. Objection: fill in the trademark objection letter, indicating the name, commodity category, preliminary approval number, preliminary approval announcement number and objection reasons. If it is considered that the objected trademark is the same as or similar to the trademark registered by the dissident, and it is used on the same or similar goods, the commodity category, trademark name and registration number of the registered trademark of the dissident shall also be filled in.

2. Notice of reply: After receiving the objection and relevant evidence, the Trademark Office will send a copy of the objection to the objector, who shall make a written reply within 30 days from the date of receiving the objection. If the objector fails to make a reply within the time limit, it shall be deemed as a waiver and will not affect the objection procedure.

3. Correction (non-essential process): After receiving the objection application, if the Trademark Office finds that there are problems in the objection application that need to be corrected, it will issue a notice of correction to the objector or trademark agency to make corrections within a time limit.

4. Make a ruling: The Trademark Office shall hear the facts and reasons stated by the objector and the objector, and make a ruling after investigation and verification.

5. Delivery of ruling: After the Trademark Office makes an objection ruling, it will deliver the objection ruling to the objector and the objector. There are two kinds of objection ruling results: (1) the objection reason cannot be established, and then it is registered with the initially approved trademark; (2) If the objection is justified and the objection is established, the trademark originally preliminarily approved shall not be registered.

6. Re-examination: If a party has any objection to the objection ruling, it may apply to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board for re-examination within 15 days from the date of receiving the notice of the objection ruling.
