Waiting for the acceptance notice to be issued indicates that the trademark application has passed the formal examination (meaning that the trademark application documents are complete and clear, with no obvious errors) and entered the substantive examination stage.

if the application is made by an entrusted agency, the Trademark Office will send the acceptance notice to the trademark agency in electronic or paper form; if the application is made by itself, the Trademark Office will mail the acceptance notice to your address in the application documents.

It usually takes 13-18 months if it goes well. About 3 months after the trademark application is submitted, the Trademark Office will issue an application acceptance notice. Then enter the substantive examination stage, which will take about 6-1 months. If the substantive examination is qualified, it will enter a three-month announcement (objection period). When the announcement expires, if no one raises an objection, you can get the registration certificate.
