US Client - Trademark

In the United States, the registration process consists of several steps.

• First, the trademark owner files an application to register the trademark;
• About three months after submitting the application, the application is reviewed by an examiner of the United States Patent and Trademark Office;
• If the application violates any requirements, the examiner will issue an Office Action requesting the applicant to resolve certain issues or submit additional documents prior to registering the trademark;
• If the US Patent and Trademark Office examiner approves the application, it will be“published an objection”. During these 30-day objections, third parties who may be affected by the registration of the trademark may submit an opposition procedure to stop the registration of the trademark;
• Finally, if there is no objection and the trademark is officially approved, the trademark will be registered in due course.
