A: Yes.
A：听起来很简单。
B: lt's not complicated. You may contact the Trademark Office. They will send you standard forms for you to fill out.
B：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。

A:商标权有有效期吗?
B: 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.
B: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。
A: Is there a time limit for trademark rights"'
A:太好了。

B：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。
A:That's right.
A：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。
B:Trademark registration may be renewed continuously. But the producer or registrant should apply for the registration renewal every 25 years.
B：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。

A: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?

A:Oh.l see. Thanks a lot.
