Today, these two 16 April 2025 applications no longer have the UNKNOWN mark drawing code, so Pre-Exam has performed their initial processing of these new applications. Both were given the
<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b>2 - AN ILLUSTRATION DRAWING WITHOUT ANY WORDS(S)/ LETTER(S) /NUMBER(S)</b></span> mark drawing code with the
<span style="color: rgb(12, 100, 192);"><b>28.01.03 - Chinese characters; Japanese and Chinese characters; Japanese characters</b></span> design code. Consistent with the new mark drawing code entries, the wordmark entries were deleted. So, while the wordmarks
provided in the applications survived the initial electronic processing, those wordmarks did not survive Pre-Exam's processing.</div>
