What does trademark objection mean?
Legal subjectivity:

Trademark objection means that the prior obligee, interested party or even anyone thinks that the trademark preliminarily approved and announced does not conform to the legal provisions, and raises an objection to the Trademark Office during the announcement period, and the Trademark Office states the facts and reasons for the objection and re-approves whether the trademark is approved for registration.

Legal objectivity:

Article 33 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), within three months from the date of the preliminary examination and approval announcement, if the prior obligee or interested party thinks that the trademark violates the provisions of Article 13, paragraphs 2 and 3, Article 15, Article 16, paragraph 1, Article 30, Article 31 and Article 32 of this law, or if anyone thinks that it violates Article 4, Article 10, Article 11 and Article 32 of this law, there is no objection at the expiration of the announcement period. Article 35 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) raises an objection to a trademark announced after preliminary examination and approval. The Trademark Office shall listen to the facts and reasons stated by the objector and the objector, and after investigation and verification, make a decision on whether to approve the registration within 12 months from the date of expiration of the announcement, and notify the objector and the objector in writing. There are special circumstances that need to be extended, which can be extended for six months with the approval of the administrative department for industry and commerce of the State Council.
