注册德国商标相比注册中国商标要快吗
在商标注册上国外要比中国快好多。因此，中国商标申请企业及经营者便将中国商标局及德国，美国等外国商标局进行比对。普遍对中国商标局的办事效率抱有怨言。本人认为形成这些差距的因素是多方面的：
1、跟商标注册量有关。中国商标注册量累计达到1125万件，2014年就达到228.5万件，注册量全球第一。如相对国外，注册量相对中国较小。这是审查速度快慢的决定性因素。
2、技术管理原因。通常如，美国、英国、德国、法国等国相关技术水平要高于中国，有很高的技术管理及维护人才。而中国相关维护技术落后于国外，致使数据处理不及时，慢。例如：中国商标局商标网，商标查询系统等在2014年多次奔溃，持续较长时间均不能正常使用，这明显体现出了技术不成熟，商标局现有的系统不能够满足日益庞大的商标数据处理。
3、程序因素，由于各各国家有不同的法律，且对商标注册审查的程序有不同的规定，因此，决定了商标审查的快慢。例如：中国商标注册的程序为形式审查，实质审查、初审公告。且整个审查周期则由法律明确规定为自收到申请之日起9个月内做出审查。虽国外商标注册也有同中国审查程序相同的形式审查、实质审查等程序，但法定时间较短。
4、 人员因素，积极性不高，审查速度不快，拖延症。举例，美国商标在提出申请后4个工作日便能在官网查询申请信息，德国商标在提出申请后2周左右可以查询，法国10个工作日左右便可查询，而中国三四个月都查询不了。这就体现出了消极的审查心态和办事效率。更体现出了中国政府机关的通病。应当加强改革力度。
Foreign trademark registration is much faster than China. Therefore, Chinese trademark applicants and operators will be China Trademark Office and Germany, the United States and other foreign trademark bureau comparison. There are general complaints about the efficiency of the Trademark Office of China. I think the factors of these gaps are various :
1. Relating to trademark registration. China 's trademark registration totaled 11.25 million, reaching 2.285 million in 2014, the world 's largest. Relative to foreign countries, registration is relatively small in China. This is the decisive factor for the speed of review.
2. Technical management reasons. Usually, the relevant technical level of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and other countries is higher than that of China, and there are very high technical management and maintenance talents. China ' s related maintenance technology lags behind foreign countries, resulting in data processing is not timely, slow. For example, the China Trademark Office trademark network, trademark query system and so on in 2014 repeatedly crashed, sustained for a long time can not be normal use, which clearly reflects the technology is not mature, the existing system of the Trademark Office can not meet the growing trademark data processing.
3. Procedural factors, due to various countries have different laws, and trademark registration review procedures have different provisions, therefore, determines the speed of trademark review. For example : China ' s trademark registration procedures for formal review, substantive review, first instance announcement. And the whole review cycle is clearly defined by the law as review within 9 months from the date of receiving the application. Although foreign trademark registration has the same formal review and substantive review procedures as China ' s review procedures, the statutory time is short.
4. Personnel factors, enthusiasm is not high, review speed is not fast, procrastination. For example, the US trademark can query the application information on the official website about four working days after the application is filed, the German trademark can query about two weeks after the application is filed, and the French trademark can query about ten working days, while China cannot query for three or four months. This reflects a negative review mentality and efficiency. It also reflects the common faults of Chinese government organs. Reform should be strengthened.
