Since China's trademark registration adopts the first-to-file principle, once the application date occurs, it becomes the legal basis for determining trademark rights. The application date for trademark registration shall be based on the date when the Trademark Office receives the application documents;

4. Substantive examination. The trademark registration authority conducts a series of activities such as inspection, data retrieval, analysis and comparison, investigation and research on whether the trademark registration application complies with the provisions of the Trademark Law, and decides to give preliminary approval or reject the application;

5. Trademark Approval. Trademark approval refers to the decision to allow registration of a trademark application that complies with the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law after review.
