When a trademark application is rejected by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), the applicant has the right to challenge the decision through a trademark reexamination (review) procedure. This process allows applicants to seek reconsideration of CNIPA’s refusal decision.
Reexamination Proceedings is very complicated, so a trademark applicant should turn to a local third party agent and appoint it to be representative, ensuring that your reexamination request is properly prepared and submitted. Tannet trademark team has been devoted to trademark refusals and reexaminations in China and other countries around the world for nearly 30 years. Tannet has identified the best legal grounds, prepare strong arguments, and gather appropriate evidence to support clients’ case.
The applicant must file the reexamination request within 15 days from the date of receipt of the rejection notice (for domestic applicants), or within 30 days if the applicant is based outside China. Missing the deadline will result in the rejection decision becoming final.
