Second, the process of Japanese trademark registration
1. Japanese trademark inquiry: Japan Patent Office does not provide free inquiry when accepting applications. It is recommended to conduct independent inquiry before registration to ensure whether the trademark is similar or duplicate with the previous trademark and ensure the success rate of registration.
2. Submit an application for trademark registration: Bajie collates the information and submits it to the Japan Trademark Patent Office for registration.
3. Formal acceptance: electronic acceptance receipt document (acceptance notice), including applicant information, application date, application number, etc.
4, trademark review: according to the law to review whether the trademark can be registered, for example, whether it is significant. If the examiner thinks that the trademark is not suitable for registration, he will issue a notice of rejection, which will take about 3-6 months. The applicant can give a reply within the specified time. The applicant may also apply for an extension of the reply time.
5. Publicity period: After the trademark has passed the examination, notify the applicant that the trademark application has been accepted and publish it in the trademark announcement. Any third party may raise objections, state reasons and submit relevant evidence within the two-month announcement period.
6. Approval of registration: it takes 8- 12 months from application to issuance of registration certificate.
7. Mailing certificate: We will arrange mailing immediately after receiving the certificate to ensure that customers can receive their Japanese trademark certificate quickly.
Of course, these complicated processes are aimed at us. After submitting the Japanese trademark registration application, Bajie professional consultant will follow up the whole process, control each process stage, and feedback the progress and results in time.
