The steps for trademark application are as follows: 1. First, you need to prepare a trademark application document, including trademark drawing, trademark classification and related application fees. 2. You can choose to apply online or by mail. To apply online, please visit the official website of the Intellectual Property Department (.ipd.gov.hk) and follow the instructions to fill in the application form and upload the required documents. If you choose to apply by mail, please mail the application form and relevant documents to the Trademark Registry. 3. After submitting your application, you will receive an application confirmation letter containing your application number. This indicates that your application has been received and processed. 4. The trademark examiner will conduct a preliminary review of your application, including an assessment of the trademark's registrability and whether it conflicts with existing trademarks. If your application is accepted, you will proceed to the registration process. 5. During the trademark registration process, your application will be published in the Special Gazette of Intellectual Property to allow the public to lodge objections. If there are no objections or the objections are rejected, your trademark will be registered. 6. After registration, you will receive a trademark registration certificate, indicating that your trademark has been successfully registered. Please note that the trademark application process can take a long time, approximately 6 to 12 months or more, depending on the complexity of the application and the amount of review work. In addition, you need to pay certain application fees and renewal fees to ensure the validity period of the trademark. It is recommended that you consult a professional or trademark agency before applying to ensure the correctness and compliance of the application process.
