What is the process of applying for trademark registration by ChinaSoft Group? Ask for detailed introduction and steps?

ChinaSoft Group is an intellectual property agency in Beijing, which can provide services such as trademark registration, trademark renewal, trademark change, trademark transfer and transaction. Now you can find a trademark agency to register a trademark, or you can apply for registration directly at the Trademark Office. The general procedure is as follows:

The first thing to do is to make a query:

Trademark inquiry refers to the inquiry whether the trademark applied by the applicant for trademark registration or his agent is the same as or similar to the trademark that enjoyed the prior right before applying for registration. Inquiry is not a necessary procedure for trademark registration. The scope of inquiry is limited to the registered trademarks and trademarks in application that have entered the database of the Trademark Office since the date of inquiry, and does not include the prior rights information in the review state. This result has no legal effect, and is for reference only, and is not used as the basis for the Trademark Office to approve or reject the application.

After that, it will be submitted for review:

Trademark review is divided into formal review and substantive review. (1) Trademark form review (3-4 months), and it is very important to establish the application date. Because China's trademark registration adopts the principle of prior application, once the application date occurs, it will become the legal basis for determining the trademark right. The date of application for trademark registration shall be the date when the Trademark Office receives the application documents. The Trademark Office accepts trademark applications and issues a Notice of Acceptance to those who meet the formal requirements. (2) substantive examination of trademarks (12 months). The substantive examination of a trademark is the examination, data retrieval, analysis and comparison conducted by the trademark registration authority on whether the application for trademark registration conforms to the provisions of the Trademark Law.

Announcement:

Trademark examination and approval refers to the decision to approve the registration of a trademark that meets the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law after examination. And make an announcement in the trademark announcement. If no objection is raised within three months from the date of the announcement of preliminary examination and approval, the trademark shall be registered.
