Can a trademark awaiting substantive examination be used?
The state of trademark waiting for examination means that the trademark has passed the formal examination and is in the stage of waiting for substantive examination, and it also shows a state of examination in the process of trademark trial. When you enter the actual trial stage, you should have got the admission notice. You have the right to use the trademark from the date of receiving the acceptance notice. Of course, because it has not been officially registered, it is not possible to mark the R logo in the upper right corner of the trademark, but only the TM logo.

The substantive examination belongs to the second stage of trademark registration application, that is, the trademark has been formally examined and the application date has been reserved by the trademark system.

You can use the trademark in the substantive examination, but you should pay attention to the way of use-you can mark "TM" to indicate that the trademark is being applied, or you can mark the words or patterns as your trademark; However, the registered trademark "R" cannot be used, and the industrial and commercial bureau will consider it a counterfeit registered trademark and impose a corresponding fine.
