Dongguan trademark registration is one of Tannet's intellectual property services in China. Different goods and services have been classified by the International (Nice) Classification of Goods and Services into 45 Trademark Classes (1 to 34 cover goods, and 35 to 45 cover services). The idea behind this system is to specify and limit the extension of the intellectual property right by determining which goods or services are covered by the mark, and to unify classification systems around the world.
I. Trademark Application
An application must include the following documents before the China Trademark Office will accept it.
(1) Authorization letter of registration;
(2) Qualification certificate of applicant;
(3) A clear drawing of the trademark;
(4) A listing of the goods or services;
(5) The filing fee for at least one class of goods or services.
II. Trademark Examination
After the China Trademark Office determines that you have met the minimum filing requirements, the application is forwarded to an examining attorney. This may take a number of months. The examining attorney reviews the application to determine whether it complies with all applicable rules and statutes and includes all required fees.
A complete examination includes a search for conflicting marks, and an examination of the written application, the drawing, and any specimen.
III. Trademark Registration
If no party files an opposition or requests to extend the time to oppose, the China Trademark Office will normally register the mark and issue a registration certificate. The date of filing the application will be the registration date.
IV. Time and Fees
Time: The approximate time for obtaining the certificate is about 12 months for smooth application. The term of validity is 10 years from the date of filing the application, in which period no extra fee is imposed.
