Hello, the time required to register a British trademark: If everything goes well, you can get the trademark certificate in 4-8 months.

The specific process is as follows:

1. After the registration application documents are submitted, they will be reviewed by experts from the British Patent Department. After the review, a report will be sent to you to inform you whether your trademark has been approved for registration.

Usually the process lasts approximately two months from receipt of the application. If a notice of refusal of registration is received, the patent department will point out the reasons why the trademark does not meet the registration requirements. If you disagree with the decision, you can lodge a protest and the decision will be reviewed. Otherwise, the application will be terminated at this stage.

2. If the trademark registration application is not rejected, your trademark will be published in the Trademark Bulletin issued every Friday. Within three months after publication, anyone has the right to object to the registration.

The information on your trademark registration application, including your name and address, will be published on the official website of the patent department and can be viewed by the public.

3. If there is no objection or challenge from a third party, the trademark registration process generally takes nearly six months. If an objection or challenge arises and you decide to raise an objection, the process will take longer.

If there is an objection or challenge during trademark registration, the applicant must make a decision whether to refute the objection or withdraw the application. If you want to refute the objection, you must follow a series of necessary procedures to refute it.

4. The initial validity period of a trademark is ten years from the submission of application. Although you can extend the limited term of your trademark indefinitely, in order to maintain the validity of your trademark you must extend the term every ten years from the date of filing. This process is optional and you can choose not to postpone it.

Note: If you have not used your registered trademark within five years from the date of registration or stopped using it for more than five years, anyone can apply to have your trademark removed from the national directory.
