Is the American trademark registration process troublesome?

Interpretation of American trademark registration review procedure;

1. The applicant applied for a registered trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. After receiving the application for registration, the US Trademark Office will conduct a formal examination to ensure that it meets the basic requirements for trademark registration. If it meets the requirements, the US Trademark Office will issue the date and send the trademark acceptance notice to the applicant two months after the applicant submits the application. Unqualified, all the application materials shall be returned to the applicant.

Four months after the applicant submits the application, the US Trademark Office will be responsible for examining and determining whether the trademark can be registered. Do not meet the conditions, the examiner will inform and inform them of the reasons why they can not apply for registration. At the same time, the applicant is required to reply within six months after receiving the notification letter, otherwise the application will be terminated, and the applicant will still fail, and the examiner will still reject it here.

3. If the application submitted by the applicant is not returned or the applicant's reply is accepted, the trademark can be printed on the cover of the trademark, and the US Trademark Office will inform the applicant of the date of announcement of the trademark. One month from the date of announcement, it has entered the objection period of the registered trademark.

4. The trademark objection period is three months. During this period, anyone who has any objection to the announced trademark may file an objection application. During this period, the trademark objection does not exist or is not established, which means that the trademark has been approved for registration. The US Trademark Office will register the certification documents of the trademark 12 months after the announcement.

5. In addition, in another case, the applied trademark is an intentional trademark, that is, an unused trademark. The US Trademark Office will issue a notice after 12 months, and the applicant can use the trademark within six months, and then submit the use evidence, and the US Trademark Office will issue a trademark certificate.
