Can I use the trademark after I get the acceptance notice?
You can't use the trademark after receiving the acceptance notice. The notice of acceptance only indicates that the application for trademark registration has been accepted by the Trademark Office, but does not indicate that the application for trademark registration has been approved. A trademark is still an unregistered trademark after the application is filed but before the registration is approved, and it must still be used as an unregistered trademark. Where the use of a trademark infringes upon the exclusive right of others to use a trademark, it shall not affect the investigation and punishment of the act by the relevant administrative authorities for industry and commerce.

Legal basis:

the trademark law of the people's republic of china
