B:您是指商標注冊的程序嗎?
A: I want to have my new product registered. Do you know what should do for this aftair.Miss Li"
A:是的。

A: Yes.
A:聽起來很簡單。
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,商標局對申請在先的予以優(yōu)先。申請注冊的商標由商標局審查,初步審定后,予以公告。如果沒有正當?shù)漠愖h,就核準注冊發(fā)給商標注冊證。

A:商標權(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.

A: Is there a time limit for trademark rights"'
A:太好了。
B: Of course.by law.the protection in our country is limited t0 25 years. And the trademark rights can be renewed.
B:商標注冊可以無限期,但生產(chǎn)商或注冊人應(yīng)每25年申請辦理一次延續(xù)手續(xù)。
A:That's right.
A:這很公平,生產(chǎn)商闖出一個公認的名牌商標很不容易,他理應(yīng)享有此等保護。
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)商忘記申請辦理商標的延展手續(xù),也可依法享有5個月的寬限。
A:That' s fair. It is not easy for a producer to establish a well recognized trademark. He has reasons to enjoy such protection.
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,您必須清楚商標受區(qū)域限制。

A:哦,我明白了,非常感謝
B:Yes.unless the same trademark is also registered in this country.
A:Oh.l see. Thanks a lot.
