To put it simply, the process of applying for trademark registration is divided into the following steps:

1. Acceptance (formal review), which takes about 2 weeks and 4-6 after acceptance. During the month-long blind search period, the trademark has not made any progress;

2. The review period (substantive examination). After the blind search period, the trademark will officially go to each examination office for substantive examination, which everyone is worried about. "Rejection" also occurs in this step. If everything goes well, this step will take about 8-12 months. If rejection occurs, it will take longer to conduct a review;

3. Publicity, substance After passing the review (passing the preliminary review), the trademark will enter the publicity period, which lasts for 3 months. After the publicity, the certificate will be issued about 20 working days.

Calculated from this, the entire process of trademark registration takes about 15-21 months, which is generally about one and a half years.
