Procedure for applying trade mark registration
Ⅰ.A word, logo or both, which is distinctive, can be applied for trademark registration.
任何具显著性的文字﹑图案或文字加图案的标记均可申请注册。

Ⅱ. An availability search is usually recommended to find out whether there is any similar or identical filed/registered marks which may bar your application. After the search, the filing of the mark will be applied in the specified class with up to 10 designated goods or services. There are totally 45 classes. The fees for trademark application is for 10 years and the trademark could be renewed every 10 years.
申请前查询的作用是找出类似或相同并对申请有影响的已申请/注册的商标。查询后再分类为最多十项指定物品或服务，总共有45类。费用为有效期十年。之后可在到期日或之前，续期十年。
Ⅲ. The Trade Marks Office will examine and issue a report on the application, usually 3 months after the date of the application. Upon receiving the report from the Trade Marks Office, you are advised on what objections, if any, have been raised and how they can be overcome. Once the application is accepted for registration and the registration fee is paid, the mark is then advertised in the Official Journal of Trade Marks and any person may within 3 months, oppose the registration of the mark. If there is no opposition, the mark will be registered and the Certificate of Registration will be mailed to you by registered mail. It usually takes about 12 to 18 months for a mark to become mature for registration.
提交申请后，商标注册署审查员会对申请作出审查。如申请合乎商标法条例及没有抵触其他注册或已申请注册的商标，注册署会发出公告许可证及列明商标获准注册所须遵办的条件。如在公告日期起计之3个月内没有人提出反对，申请人便可申领注册证书。由申请日至发出证书需时大约12到18个月。
