the meaning of priority of trademark application is the same as that of patent application, but there are differences.

"If an applicant for trademark registration applies for trademark registration in China for the same commodity and the same trademark within six months from the date of the first application for trademark registration in a foreign country, he can enjoy priority according to the agreement signed between the foreign country and China or the same international treaty, or according to the principle of mutual recognition of priority."

"If a trademark is used for the first time on a commodity displayed in an international exhibition sponsored or recognized by the China Municipal Government, the applicant for registration of the trademark may enjoy priority within six months from the date of the commodity display."

According to the above provisions, it can be seen that:

The priority period of a trademark is six months, and patent applications should be divided into domestic priority and foreign priority.

domestic priority (including inventions and utility models only): it is valid within 12 months

foreign priority: inventions and utility models for 12 months

design for 6 months.
