Question:
Can a Trademark Consent Letter Be Found Through the Trademark Office’s Website?
Answer:
A review decision published on the Trademark Office’s website may indicate whether a letter of consent was submitted. Consent letters are usually filed during review proceedings to overcome a refusal. If no review was requested, such a letter would not normally have been filed through that procedure.
The review decision search service cited in the original article was http://wssq.saic.gov.cn:9080/tmsve/pingshen_getMain.xhtml. Not every decision was published, so a search result could only provide a reference and could not conclusively establish whether a letter had been filed.
