How long does it take to use the trademark after receiving the trademark acceptance notice?

Trademark registration is now very common. How long does it take to use the trademark after receiving the trademark acceptance notice? In fact, this point of view is ambiguous. Before a trademark is registered, it can be used as long as no one registers it, but it cannot be marked with tm and r. If a trademark application has been submitted, the trademark can be used from the day after it has been submitted, but it cannot be marked with R. Look at the logo, you can put the TM logo on it. Here we first need to understand the trademark registration process: 1. Deliver the registration number document to the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in about one month. 2. Six months after the application is accepted, the Trademark Office will conduct a substantive examination of the trademark (6 months). 3. After passing the substantive examination, that is, about 8-10 months after application, the Trademark Office will issue a preliminary examination announcement and send it to the applicant. 4. Three months after the date of announcement, the trademark registration will be approved and a formal "Trademark Registration Certificate" will be issued. 5. The total registration time is about 12-18 months. 6. The trademark can be used correctly after filing the application (do not mark the registration mark R when using it). Warm reminder: 1. As long as you do not add the registration mark R, add TM when using it to indicate a registered trademark. 2. You can use it after applying. It is better to wait for the certification before promoting it
