The defense is only the first step, and the reasons for the other party’s objections must be looked at in detail. If it is purely unreasonable, you can submit your defense and wait for the Trademark Office to issue a ruling. If you win and the other party does not file for review, then the trademark is successfully registered. If you lose or the other party loses, you can submit a review. If either party is dissatisfied with the review ruling, you can file a lawsuit with the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court, and then the second instance and retrial procedures will begin.
Of course, you can cancel the other party’s cited trademark through other means, such as disputes, non-use of cancellation for three years, etc., so that the other party will be anxious.
