When does the substantive trademark examination start?

Legal subjectivity:

The substantive review of a trademark generally takes 9 months. Trademark substantive examination is a series of activities including review, data retrieval, analysis and comparison, investigation and research, preliminary approval or rejection of trademark applications. The Trademark Office makes a preliminary decision to approve the registration. If the applicant passes the substantive examination, a preliminary approval announcement will be issued, and the trademark registration will enter the next stage. Legal objectivity:

Article 28 of the "Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China" shall review the trademark application for registration within nine months from the date of receipt of the trademark registration application document. If it is completed and meets the relevant provisions of this Law, a preliminary review and announcement will be made.
