How long does it take to apply for an American trademark?

Hello, the time required for American trademark registration: 8- 12 months. The validity period of American trademarks is 10 years, counting from the date of application, but an affidavit of use is required within 5-6 years after the date of registration, and the trademark needs to be renewed within 9- 10 years to maintain its continuous validity.

American trademark application process:

Application submission: After submitting an application to the US Trademark Office, an application number (literal meaning, serial number) will be assigned within 1-2 working days, and the information of the trademark can be found on the website of the US Patent and Trademark Office about 2 weeks after the application number is assigned. ?

Trademark review: this stage includes formal review and substantive review, which takes about 2-4 months. If the application meets the most basic formal requirements, conforms to the legal provisions, and does not conflict with prior rights, the trademark shall be announced. ?

Review stage: If, in the process of trademark review, it is considered that there are any formal or substantive reasons for rejecting the registration of the trademark, a formal opinion will be issued and the formal opinion must be answered. If you don't reply, the application will be regarded as invalid (unless it is an official opinion on some commodities), and there will be a six-month reply period from the date when the official opinion is issued.

After the reply is passed, an announcement will be arranged. If the reply is not passed, the official will release the final opinion. It can only be published after the problem is solved, otherwise it will not be passed.
