This stage will probably produce results within 1~3 months;
2. Review stage:
If there is any problem, the examiner will send a letter to explain the specific problem while refusing to register, and the applicant can reply within six months after receiving the letter, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up the application. If the examiner still refuses to pass the reply, a final rejection will be issued. The applicant may appeal to the Trademark Board.

If the examiner approves the application, the trademark will be published in the USPTO trademark announcement. If no objection is received within 3 months after the announcement, the Trademark Office will approve the registration.

If there are no other services within the validity period, there is no need to pay other fees. Within six months before the expiration date, the trademark owner may submit an application for renewal to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Unlike other countries, the owner of a registered trademark in the United States needs to submit a declaration of use at the same time as submitting an application for renewal.
