In addition, if China Trademark Office rejects your trademark application citing conflicts with existing trademarks, the country will not refund the trademark application fee.

iii. Trademark review

Trademark review is divided into formal review and substantive review.

1. It is very important to establish the application date after 3-4 months of trademark form examination. As the principle of prior application is adopted in trademark registration in China, once the application date occurs, it becomes the legal basis for determining the trademark right. The application date of trademark registration shall be based on the date when the Trademark Office receives the application documents. The Trademark Office will issue an acceptance notice for the application that meets the formal requirements.

The 12-month substantive examination of trademarks is a series of activities such as examination, data retrieval, analysis and comparison, investigation and study conducted by the trademark registration authority to determine whether the application for trademark registration conforms to the provisions of the Trademark Law, and to decide whether to give a preliminary examination or reject the application. During this period, please don't mark the registration marks (such as "registered trademark" and ""etc.) before the trademark is not approved for registration. You can mark "TM". In addition, before the registration is approved, it is not advisable to make too many commodities, packages or trademark logos with the trademark at one time to prevent unnecessary losses caused by blocked registration.

If no one raises an objection within three months or if the objection is ruled invalid, the trademark will become effective and a registration certificate will be issued.
