After the Trademark Office receives an application for trademark registration, the formal review is mainly divided into three parts: the review of the application (whether the documents are complete, whether the filling is standardized, and whether the signature/seal is missing), the review of the trademark pattern specifications, clear procedures and necessary explanations, and the classified review (the review of the goods/services reported).

Where the application procedures are basically complete or the application documents basically meet the requirements, but need to be corrected, the Trademark Office shall issue a notice of correction and make corrections according to the specified contents, and return it to the Trademark Office within 2 months from the date of receiving the notice. If it is corrected and returned to the Trademark Office within the prescribed time limit, the date of application shall be retained; If no correction is made within the time limit, the application shall be deemed to have been abandoned, and the Trademark Office shall notify the applicant in writing (issue the Notice of Invalidation of Trademark Registration Application), and the application date shall not be retained.

The application procedures are basically complete or the application documents basically meet the requirements but need to be supplemented, including the following contents:

(1) The declared commodity/service name is not standardized and specific;

(2) The declared commodity/service names do not belong to the same category;

(3) the trademark pattern is not clear;

(four) the words in the trademark pattern need to be explained;

The reply to the notice of correction of trademark registration application is a very important link that both the applicant and the agent should pay attention to. If it is not handled properly, it will not only affect the review process of the application, but may even lead to invalidation of the application. Therefore, pay attention to the following points when replying:

(1) Print the corrected contents in the corresponding position in the Notice of Correction of Trademark Registration Application with a printer.

(two) the need to delete the goods or services, should be marked with the words "agreed to delete" to confirm the deletion.

(three) the corrected goods or services shall be limited to the corresponding scope of the goods or services originally required to be corrected, and shall not be changed or added at will.

(four) the modified goods or services should correspond to the goods or services before the modification, so as to facilitate the continuous review.

(5) If there are many corrections that cannot be stated in the correction notice, you can directly attach a sheet (A4 paper), and it is safer to indicate the words "Attached Sheet" or "See Attached Sheet" in the correction column.

(6) If the blank correction notice is returned, the Trademark Office will consider that the applicant or agent has abandoned the project.

(seven) the seal of the agency shall be uniformly located at the lower right of the corrected content, and the seal shall not cover the corrected content.
