1. Application submission stage. At this stage, the applicant applying for trademark registration in the United States searches for the trademark registered in the United States, and the applicant submits the prepared relevant materials to USPTO for registration in the United States. Receive the application number within five working days after the application is submitted, and enter the next stage one to three months later;
2. The trademark examination stage takes about one month. Only when the submitted registration application meets the formal requirements of American trademark examination, the American trademark application will be assigned a corresponding examiner, and then the examiner of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will conduct substantive examination of the trademark;
3. Review the opinion stage. At this stage, mainly in the process of substantive examination, any substantive examination reasons appear, and the application for registration of the trademark is rejected. At this point, the examiner of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will issue the corresponding examination opinions. The applicant must reply to the formal examination opinions of the trademark. If the applicant fails to reply within a limited period of six months, his application will be considered invalid. Changes that pass the reply will enter the line flow stage, and those that fail will be rejected;
4. Trademark announcement stage. At this stage, it will take about 65,438+0 months after the trademark examination opinions are passed, and the applied trademark will be announced in the trademark announcement. The announcement period is 30 days. Anyone can object to USPTO's trademark application. If there is no legal objection, it will enter the final stage in about 3 months.
5. Approval registration stage, which is the last stage of trademark registration. After no one raises any objection to the published trademark, USPTO will approve and register the trademark it applied for. After the registration is completed, the whole process of trademark registration in the United States is successfully completed.
