The time limit for applying for trademark registration and certification generally takes one and a half years. The time required to register a trademark varies depending on the category of application. In the process of trademark registration in my country, if the trademark is opposed during the announcement period, you must wait another three years or even longer for a conclusion, approval of registration or reply not to allow registration, etc.
1. How long does it take to apply for trademark registration and get the certificate? It usually takes about a year and a half for a newly applied trademark to be successfully issued, including about 3 months for application acceptance and formal review. , the substantive review takes about 9 months, the objection period is three months, and the approval announcement to the issuance of the certificate takes about 2 months. If there is rejection or objection, the time will be extended. The time required to register a trademark varies depending on the application category. It is generally about two years. Among them, trademarks in clothing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other categories often have a longer application period due to the large number of applications. For example, clothing trademarks start from It often takes more than two and a half or even three years to get the registration certificate. If the trademark is partially rejected during the application process, the period will be extended by about half a year than the normal period. If a review is requested for a rejection, it will take twice as long as the normal cycle, that is, four to five years. If a trademark is opposed during the announcement period, you will have to wait another three years or even longer for a conclusion (registration approved or not). Because it takes a long time and there are many uncertain factors, more and more companies are adopting the method of purchasing ready-made registered trademarks, which only takes about five months, but the cost is higher. There are some surprises.
2. What is the fee for applying for trademark registration? The cost of trademark registration can be divided into two parts. One part is the official fee, which is paid to the National Trademark Office; the other part is the agency fee, which is the authorization fee. The actual fees charged by entrusting agencies to handle trademark registration services are introduced below: 1. Official fees. If you want to handle it yourself, you only need to pay the corresponding official fees. At this stage, my country's trademarks can be divided into 45 categories, and different categories cover different goods or services. Each major category can be selected from 10 subcategories. Each additional subcategory requires more money. The actual amount required depends on the registered project. 2. Agency service costs. If it is handled by an agency, there will also be a corresponding service fee. The services provided by each company are different, so the prices are also different. What I must remind everyone here is that you get what you pay for. There is no need to pass up the trademark just to save a little money, resulting in unsuccessful registration. When registering trademarks, beware of general agencies that attract registrations at low prices and fabricate fee-based projects; or agencies that accept trademarks with low pass rates at low prices, inducing rejection of review. To sum up, trademark registration generally takes about 1 year and 4 months, and the specific time is subject to actual conditions. It is worth noting that when registering a trademark, it must be handled through formal and legal channels, and you cannot make a small gain at a loss. If you try to register a trademark at a low price, it will easily be rejected for review. In fact, my country's trademark registration reflects the protection of my country's intellectual property and patent systems. At this time, we should pay attention to protecting our own intellectual property and other rights and interests in our daily lives to avoid being infringed by others.
