Nationals of the States Parties to the Paris Convention, who after filing an application for registry of a trademark in any other State Party, file another application for registry of the same trademark for the same product in China, may claim priority within six months after the first filing and submit priority documents. The date of the first application for registry of the trademark filed in another State Party to the Paris Convention shall be regarded as the application date in China.

When trademark registry is applied for a three-dimensional mark, the applicant should state the same in the application and submit reproductions enabling determination of the three-dimensional shape.

While trademark registry is applied for a color combination, the applicant should state the same in the application and submit a text description.

While applying for registry of a collective mark or certification mark, the applicant should state the same in the application and submit a certificate of qualification as subject and the rules for administration of the use of the mark.

Applications for trademark registry will undergo examination as to form and examination as to substance by the Trademark Office in accordance with the Trademark Law. When an application has passed the examination both in form and in substance, preliminary approval will be granted and the trademark will be published.

Any person may, within three months from the date of publication of the trademark, file an opposition against the trademark that has been granted preliminary approval. The Trademark Office will send the Application for Trademark Opposition to the opposed party for a response to be made within 30 days as from the receipt of notification. The Trademark Office will then make an adjudication based on the facts and grounds presented by both parties.

When no opposition has been filed against a trademark or the opposition is not justified, approval will be granted for the trademark to be registered. A certificate of registry will be issued and the trademark will be published. When the opposition is justified, registry will be refused.

If the registry of an opposed trademark has been published before the ruling on the opposition becomes effective, the original publication will be revoked and the trademark whose registry is approved in the adjudication on the opposition will be published anew.
