In recent years, China has continuously promoting the reformation of trademark registration facilitation, and the efficiency and quality of trademark examination has been greatly improved.
The average examination period of trademark registration has been significantly shortened to within four and a half months. The examination periods of trademark change, transfer, Madrid International Registration and other businesses have been shortened simultaneously. The applicant can process 25 trademark businesses online at home.
