If nobody files an opposition, your trademark is registered and registration is published. The process to register for a trademark takes around 8 months, be sure to start the process well in advance.

There are four main stages of trademark registration in Hong Kong: Pre-Filling search, Application, Publication, Registration.
Pre-filling. It is important to do your homework before filling and application. We will evaluate your trademark registration probabilities.
Application. After filing the application to the Trade Marks Registry, the Registry will issue a response to the application within 2 months.
Publication. Once the trademark is approved it will be published for 3 months period. If no objection is raised, then an application can be filled for a registration certificate.
Registration. Once the 3 months publication period is over and your trade mark has been accepted for registration, the details of your trade mark will be entered into the trade marks register and a certificate of registration will be issued.
After filing the application and no objections to the trade mark then the whole application procedure takes about 8 months from application to registration.
There is no restriction on the nationality or place of incorporation of the applicant.
A trademark lasts for an initial period of 10 years from the date of registration.
