Comment by Eastking:

This is a typical trail for trademark review of refusal .there is three enlightenments for trademark owner:

1. Trademark refusal which is just a preliminary decision made by trademark office, does not mean the trademark can not be registered or used. Applicant could file a review to the trademark review and adjudication board,and the decision of  review can be prosecuted in court, so far the trademark rights validation procedure to complete.

2. The period to file a Trademark review is only 15 days, if the parties want to keep the refused trademark, it shall put forward application in fifteen days for reexamination, and the envelope and notice of refusal must keep well.

3. The reason for refusal is different, and the documents to prepare the review are also different, we suggest that the party submits targeted evidence for different reason of refusal.
