1. Trademarks registered in the UK should be distinctive. Trademarks can be words, signs, pictures or other signs.

2. After submitting the application, you cannot modify the trademark or add products or services.

3. Query scope: British trademarks, international trademarks and European Union trademarks.

If there is a prior similar trademark registration, the official will inform the prior obligee to inform him to apply later.

5. Trademark registration objection period: 3 months.

6. If the trademark is successfully challenged, the trademark cannot be registered. In addition, the applicant has to pay an objection fee, which may be around several thousand pounds.

7. Examination: Examiners will examine British trademarks, international trademarks and EU trademarks. If there is a prior conflict trademark, the applicant will be reported, and the applicant's response period to this report is two months. The applicant can call or write to the examiner.

8. The prior similar trademark will not constitute an obstacle to applying for trademark registration. The report will clearly state the conflicting trademark first, and the applicant will decide whether the trademark will enter the announcement stage. If the applicant does not reply to the report within two months, the official will think that the applicant wants the trademark to enter the announcement procedure.

9. How to prevent the examiner from issuing a notice to the prior obligee? The applicant can contact the examiner to discuss ways to overcome the prior obligee's notice, such as deleting goods or services, but the applicant has only one chance and must give it to the examiner in writing. Another way is for the applicant to contact the prior obligee and obtain his permission.

10. The announcement of trademark registration is published every Friday.
