Nowadays, it usually takes about a year from trademark inquiry to obtaining the registration certificate. Usually, it takes about two days for trademark inquiry, about one month for trademark formal examination, about 6-12 months for trademark substantive examination, three months for trademark announcement, and two months for obtaining registration certificate. Mainly because the substantive examination stage takes a long time. If you are anxious to use the trademark, you can directly purchase the unused trademark. For trademark agencies in Beijing, you can go to Beijing Zhongxiruan Group. I have registered many trademarks there before. Their Chinese Trademark Supermarket is the largest idle trademark transfer and trading platform in China.
