A: I want to have my new product registered. Do you know what should do for this aftair.Miss Li"
A:是的。
B: You mean the procedure for trademark examination.don't you !
B:不太復(fù)雜,您可以和商標(biāo)局聯(lián)系,商標(biāo)局會(huì)寄給您標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的表格讓您填寫。
A: Yes.
A:聽起來很簡(jiǎn)單。
B: lt's not complicated. You may contact the Trademark Office. They will send you standard forms for you to fill out.
B:是的,商標(biāo)局對(duì)申請(qǐng)?jiān)谙鹊挠枰詢?yōu)先。申請(qǐng)注冊(cè)的商標(biāo)由商標(biāo)局審查,初步審定后,予以公告。如果沒有正當(dāng)?shù)漠愖h,就核準(zhǔn)注冊(cè)發(fā)給商標(biāo)注冊(cè)證。
A: That sounds quite simple.
A:商標(biāo)權(quán)有有效期嗎?
B: Yes.the Trademark Office gives precedence to the person who files first. It examines the application . issues preliminary approval and publishes the trademark. If there's no justifiable opposition to it.then the registration is approved and a trademark registration cerlificated is issued.
B:當(dāng)然有,在我國(guó)商標(biāo)依法受保護(hù)25年,而且商標(biāo)權(quán)可以辦延續(xù)手續(xù)。
A: Is there a time limit for trademark rights"'
A:太好了。

A:That's right.
A:這很公平,生產(chǎn)商闖出一個(gè)公認(rèn)的名牌商標(biāo)很不容易,他理應(yīng)享有此等保護(hù)。
B:Trademark registration may be renewed continuously. But the producer or registrant should apply for the registration renewal every 25 years.
B:即使生產(chǎn)商忘記申請(qǐng)辦理商標(biāo)的延展手續(xù),也可依法享有5個(gè)月的寬限。

A:那太好了。
B:Even if the producer forgets to apply for registration renewal.the law grants a 5-month grace period.
B:另外,您必須清楚商標(biāo)受區(qū)域限制。
A:That sounds good.
A:也就是說,在中國(guó)注冊(cè)的商標(biāo)不會(huì)在另一個(gè)國(guó)家受到法律保護(hù),對(duì)嗎?
B:Besides, you must notice that trademark is limited by region.
B:是的,除非同一商標(biāo)也在另一國(guó)注冊(cè)。
