Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the dual pressure of epidemic prevention and control and the reduction of objection review cycle, under the strong leadership of the State Intellectual Property Office's trademark office, the objection department, guided by general secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on improving the quality and efficiency of intellectual property review, has been sticking to the general keynote of stability and consolidating the procedures for dissenting procedures in combating malicious registration and protecting prior rights. We should further improve the system, strengthen the management, and improve the quality and efficiency. In the first half of the year, 68162 objection cases were reviewed, up 71.85% year on year.

Consolidate achievements and strengthen protection
The dissenting departments give full play to the powerful role of objection procedures in combating malicious registration, timely handle trademark cases with malicious hoarding and rush to register public resources, and fully protect the legitimate rights and interests of trademark subjects. In the first half of the year, the average objection establishment rate (including partial establishment) was 50.14%, higher than 47.65% in 2019. Among them, about 70% of the cases with objection to the application of Article 30 of the trademark law are effective in protecting the prior registered trademark right; about 30% of the cases are subject to the application of Articles 7, 13, 15 and 32 of the trademark law, and malicious registration is effectively contained in the objection procedure, creating a good environment for trademark registration and protection. The proportion of applications for non registration reexamination has decreased year by year, which reflects that the review standards and quality recognition degree of the parties to trademark objection decisions are generally high and stable. Open the objection decision, actively strengthen social supervision, and further improve the quality of the review.
