II. Examination

The principle of first announcement and then substantive examination shall be followed in Cuba's trademark registration. After receiving the trademark application documents, the Trademark Office will formally examine the trademark application, send an acceptance notice to the qualified application, and notify the unqualified application to make corrections within a time limit. After the trademark application has passed the formal examination, the trademark information will be published in the official documents for the third party to raise objections. Any third party can raise an objection within the two-month announcement period.

if there is no objection from the third party or the objection is not established, the trademark examination will enter the substantive examination stage. In the substantive examination stage, the examiner will examine the registrability of the trademark. The applicant shall give a reply to the notice of opinions issued by the examiner within 6 days, otherwise the application will be deemed to be abandoned. If you are dissatisfied with the examiner's ruling, the applicant may bring a suit in Havana People's Civil and Administrative Court within 3 days from the date of notification of the ruling. If you are still dissatisfied with the ruling, you can appeal to the Cuban Higher Court within 5 days from the date of notification of the court ruling. The validity period of trademark registration is 1 years from the date of application, and the renewal period is also 1 years. The trademark owner may apply for renewal 6 months before the expiration of the trademark validity period, and the extension period is 6 months.
