1--Hi.Mr. Brown. What brings you here today?
2--Hi.Mr. Wu. Long time no see. I've come to register a trade mark.
1--It seems to me that you have put much more stress on trade mark registration now than before.
2--Yes, our product. color TV. sells well in your market. In order to uphold our right and profits, we think it is high time to have it registered.
1--How right you are! As a saying goes,the trade mark is an inseparable part of the commodity and an intangible asset of an enterprise.
2--That's why l've come here. Well. Mr. Wu.could you give me a brief account of the registration here？
1--With pleasure. When a foreign enterprise makes application for trade mark registration in China, he should entrust a represen- tative from the Trademark Office of CCPIT to go through the for malities. Generally speaking. the following documents are needed:an application in duplicate. power of attorney in duplicate and a certificate of nationality.
2--How long do we have to wait before we get the approval after handling in the application?
1--Not too long. The Trademark Office examines the application. issues preliminary approval and publishes the trademark. All these will take two or three months.
2--How long will the registered trademark remain valid.
1--Ten years from the date of registration.
2--What if we want to continue to use the trademark?
1--You have to apply for a renewal within five months before expiry.
2--Each renewal is good for ten more years. Can we assign a vademark to another person or company?
1--Yes . you can.
2--How can we do this?
1--You can do this by filing a joint application with the assignee with the Trademark Office. The assignee should. Of course, guarante the quality of the goods when he uses the registered trademark.
2--Now I am clear about the procedure and details about trademark application. Thank you very much.
1--You are welcome.

1--你好，布朗先生。今天什么风把你吹来了？
2--你好，吴先生。好久不见，我今天是来给商标注册的。
1--看来你比以前更重视商标注册的事情了。
2--不错，我方的彩电在这儿很畅销。为了维护我方的权益，我想该在这儿注册商标。
1--你说的对，有道是商标是商品不可分割的一部分，它也是企业的无形资产。
2--确实如此。这就是我今天来这的缘由。哦，吴先生，你能否就商标注册的事情简单给我讲讲？
1--当然可以。如果外国企业打算将其商标在中国注册，他应委托中国国际贸易促进会的代理人代办手续。一般来讲，需要提供这些文件申请书的副本，委托书的副本和国籍证书一份。
2--通过申请后我们要等多久才能收到对申请注册商标的批准书呢？
1--不太长，商标注册机构审查申请，发布初步批准书和公布已注册的商标，通常这一过程要花费两 个月时间。
2--商标有效期是多长时间？
1--从核准注册那天算起10年。
2--如果以后我想继续使用注册商标怎么办？
1--那就得在期满5个月内申请继续注册。每次继续注册有效期为10年。
2--我们可以把商标转让给另一个人或者另一家公司吗？
1--可以。
2--那么怎么转让呢？
1--你们可以和受让人共同向商标局提出申请。受让人应当保证使用注册商标的商品质量。
2--现在我对商标申请程序和相应细节清楚多了。非常感谢您。
1--不用客气。
