1--I want to have my new product registered. Do you know what should do for this aftair. Miss Li?
2--You mean the procedure for trademark examination, don't you?
1--Yes.
2--It's not complicated. You may contact the Trademark Office. They will send you standard forms for you to fill out.
1--That sounds quite simple.
2--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.
1--Is there a time limit for trademark rights?
2--Of course.by law.the protection in our country is limited to 25 years. And the trademark rights can be renewed.
1--That's right.
2--Trademark registration may be renewed continuously. But the producer or registrant should apply for the registration renewal every 25 years.
1--That' s fair. It is not easy for a producer to establish a well recognized trademark. He has reasons to enjoy such protection.
2--Even if the producer forgets to apply for registration renewal, the law grants a 5-month grace period.
1--That sounds good.
2--Besides, you must notice that trademark is limited by region.
1--That is to say.a trademark registered in China will not be legally protected in another country. Am I right?
2--Yes.unless the same trademark is also registered in this country.
1--Oh.I see. Thanks a lot.

译文:
1--找想注册我们的新产品,您知道该怎么办吗,李小姐?
2--您是指商标注册的程序吗?
1--是的。
2--不太复杂,您可以和商标局联系,商标局会寄给您标准的表格让您填写。
1--听起来很简单。
2--是的,商标局对申请在先的予以优先。申请注册的商标由商标局审查,初步审定后,予以公告。如果没有正当的异议,就核准注册发给商标注册证。
1--商标权有有效期吗?
2--当然有,在我国商标依法受保护25年,而且商标权可以办延续手续。
1--太好了。
2--商标注册可以无限期,但生产商或注册人应每25年申请办理一次延续手续。
1--这很公平,生产商闯出一个公认的名牌商标很不容易,他理应享有此等保护。
2--即使生产商忘记申请办理商标的延展手续,也可依法享有5个月的宽限。
1--那太好了。
2--另外,您必须清楚商标受区域限制。
1--也就是说,在中国注册的商标不会在另一个国家受到法律保护,对吗?
2--是的,除非同一商标也在另一国注册。
1--哦,我明白了,非常感谢。
