How To Correctly Understand The Preliminary Notice Of Trademark Approval

"Preliminary approval, announcement" does not mean that the trademark has been approved for registration, but refers to the trademark registration application for examination and substantive examination of the Trademark Office, which is in conformity with the relevant provisions of the trademark law, and is initially adopted and entered the announcement stage.

Initial approval is an important step in the successful registration of trademarks.

The Trademark Office shall examine the trademarks preliminarily approved from two aspects:

On the one hand is related.

The requirements for application include seventeenth articles concerning foreigners,

The relevant provisions of the application for trademark registration in China, the second chapter on the application for trademark registration, as well as sixty-third provisions on the payment of fees.

On the other hand, the registration of trademarks is preliminary.

The regulations mainly include ninth provisions concerning the distinctiveness and legality of trademarks, tenth provisions concerning the absolute prohibition signs of national names and national flags, eleventh articles on the relative prohibition marks of general merchandise names, and only the direct indication of the quality of goods, Twelfth restrictive provisions concerning the application of registered trademarks with three dimensional marks, thirteenth, fourteenth provisions on the protection of well-known trademarks, sixteenth provisions concerning the prohibition of the trademark registration of false use of geographical indications, twenty-eighth provisions concerning the same, similar trademarks, and similar non registration, twenty-ninth provisions on the principle of prior application for trademark registration, thirty-second provisions concerning the registration of trademarks with the same or similar trademarks (identical or similar commodities), and the approval of non registered applications for registration of goods which are less than one year after cancellation or cancellation.

The preliminary examination and announcement of trademark registration is a necessary procedure for trademark registration.

The staff appointed by the Trademark Office may, after careful examination, consider that they are in conformity with the relevant provisions of the trademark law before making preliminary approval decisions.

However, the initial approval of the trademark does not mean that the registration is approved. The application for trademark registration also requires a trademark notice, also known as the objection procedure for trademark registration, to consult the public. This announcement is known as the preliminary verification announcement.

The registration period will be shortened from 1 months to 3 working days.

On July 3rd, Liu Yuting, deputy director general of the State Administration for Industry and commerce, pointed out at the policy meeting of the State Council that it is expected that in October 1st this year, the registration of "three certificates, one license and one yard" should start in the whole country.

That is to say, in the past, a registered company had to go through business license with the Ministry of Commerce and industry, then go to the quality inspection department to do the organization code certificate, and go to the tax department for tax registration certificate.

But from October 1st onwards, only one business license can be processed. The other two codes are also merged into the number of the business license, that is, the original three numbers, and now unified to a number.

The applicant for business registration only needs to deal with one window of business registration, achieving "one window acceptance, one form filling, a set of materials, interoperability and information sharing".

In June 29th, the general office of the State Council issued a request to speed up the reform of the registration system of three certificates in one country (No. 2015] [50], which requires the implementation of the "one photo one yard" registration mode in the whole country before the end of 2015.

According to the pilot area statistics, the original business license, tax registration certificate and organization code certificate need an average of 1 months or so.

After the reform of the registration system of three certificates, one photo and one yard, we only need to fill out a form, fill in more than 20 data, and get an "one license per yard" business license on average 3 working days.

"This is some change that the applicant can really feel."

Liu Yuting said.

According to the twenty-first Century economic report, more numbers will be merged into the registration number in the future.

At present, many enterprises have registered numbers, such as banking system, statistical system, etc.

After the establishment of an enterprise, when a bank opens an account, some banks will enter the original three numbers, that is, the registration number of industrial and commercial, the organization code certificate of quality inspection, and the tax registration certificate number.

Some banks still need to enter business license number, organization code certificate number and tax registration certificate number when dealing with customer information collection.

According to the understanding, at present, the scope of application of "three certificates integration" is related to the registration of enterprises and farmers' professional cooperatives, including corporate and non corporate legal persons, individual proprietorship enterprises and partnership enterprises, including farmers' professional cooperatives, but not individual businesses.

In the past, three card registration was separated, resulting in many statistical inconsistencies.

Some enterprises began to operate the business license when they got the business license, but they did not apply for the organization code certificate or the tax registration certificate.

This makes the number of enterprises, such as organization code and tax registration, generally be less than the number of business licenses issued by enterprises.

However, after the "three certificates integration", the business license is equivalent to the organization code certificate, and the tax registration certificate has been set up. The statistics of the 3 certificates will be consistent.

"This reform measure has far-reaching implications for improving the social credit system.

With the implementation of the "three card unification" and "one photo one yard" reform measures, the role of improving the social credit system will become more apparent.

Liu Yuting said.

Since last year, SAIC has implemented the reform of the registration system of decentralization and decentralization, such as lowering the threshold of company registration, carrying out the reform of the industry license after the first operation of the industrial and commercial license, and the blowout of the enterprises in the whole country.

Among them, 1 million 233 thousand enterprises, an increase of 26.2%, registered capital (gold) 6 trillion and 900 billion yuan, an increase of 44.9%.
