Stage 1: Preliminary Examination

  • After the trademark owner submits his application, the trademark registry will first verify the application information, including the applicant's name and address, the trademark logo the relevant goods/services, etc. If the information is incomplete or inaccurate, the trademark registry will issue "Notice of Insufficient Information" to the applicant. The applicant needs to clarify and correct the inaccurate information within 2 months upon the issuance of the "Notice of Insufficient Information".
  • With complete information, the trademark registry will carry out a preliminary examination: scrutinising similar trademarks in the past to see whether someone else has already registered or applied for registration for the same or similar trademarks in the same goods/services classes.
