After the application is submitted to the U.S. trademark office, an application number (literally, serial number) will be assigned within 1-2 working days, and the information of the trademark can be found on the website of the U.S. patent and trademark office about 2 weeks after the assignment of the application number.
This stage includes formal examination and substantive examination, which will take about 2-4 months. If the application meets the most basic formal requirements and the legal provisions and does not conflict with the prior rights, the trademark will be announced.
In the process of trademark review, if it is considered that there are any formal or substantial reasons for rejecting the trademark registration, an official opinion (office action) will be issued, and the official opinion must be addressed. If it is not addressed, it will be deemed that the application is invalid (except for the official opinion on some commodities). There is a six-month response period from the date of official comments. After the reply is approved, an announcement will be arranged. If the reply is not approved, the official will issue a final opinion. The announcement can only be made after the problem is solved, otherwise it will be rejected.
