1. Trademark registration time

There is no statutory time limit for the review of trademark registration applications in my country. Based on the practical experience of trademark registration applications and based on the current progress, a newly applied trademark It generally takes at least 2 years from application to issuance, of which approximately 4-5 months are needed for application acceptance and formal review, approximately 18 months for substantive review, and 3 months for the objection period. The above time is limited by the number of such trademark applications received by the Trademark Office, and registrants and agencies cannot shorten this time limit. The validity period of a registered trademark is ten years, calculated from the date of approval of registration.

2. Trademark query time:

Ordinary query: 10 hours for text; 3 working days for graphics. [The query here refers to the internal query of the National Trademark Office]

Expedited query: 2 hours for text; 4 hours for graphics (you will pay more).

Therefore, for trademark registrants, they should reasonably calculate and coordinate the time for product development, market introduction, sales and the time for obtaining exclusive rights for trademarks. In practice, it is often the case that the applicant obtains exclusive rights for trademark registration. At the time of the registration, the product on which the trademark was intended to be used has been replaced and removed from the market, and the registered trademark has lost its proper function, resulting in unnecessary waste.

3. Special reminder:

Some unscrupulous institutions and individuals are also mixed in, using baits such as short time, low price registration, guaranteed success, etc. to attract business and defraud registration fees [Black Agent] deceptive tactics]. You must entrust a regular trademark agency for trademark registration. If you encounter similar situations, you can report it to 12315 in time.

IV. Attachment: Time limit related to trademarks:

A trademark is valid for ten years and can be renewed for six months after the validity period expires.

Trademark changes, renewals and transfers generally take about four to six months from application to approval.
