The procedures for examining a trademark application differ from a general application filed by the public and are more complicated. In addition to examining the designated goods, a search of the representations of prior registered trademarks and the examination on whether the trademark has any unregistrable conditions must be carried out. Currently, there are nearly 2,170,528 registered trademarks(2019.03.01) (https://www.tipo.gov.tw/en/np-300-2.html) Therefore, the examination of a trademark application takes some time, approximately five to seven months.
