How long will the appearance patent be granted?

It takes about 8 months to a year for an appearance patent to be applied for and authorized. The design patent, like the utility model patent, only goes through preliminary examination and does not need substantive examination. Therefore, as long as you reply or correct the notice of examination or correction in the preliminary examination of the Patent Office on time and meet the authorization conditions, you will soon be authorized. The application time is 1. Except for some invention patents that need to be kept secret, general invention patents need to go through the stages of acceptance, preliminary examination, publication, actual examination and authorization announcement. Generally speaking, it will be announced 18 months after admission, and then the actual examination stage will be carried out. It usually takes about 3 years to get authorization, but it does not rule out a longer time. In order to speed up the time limit for obtaining the patent right, we can apply for publicity in advance, so that it can be made public after passing the preliminary examination, and then enter the actual trial stage, which can speed up the progress of authorization. In addition, in some special circumstances, it may be required to speed up the audit, but the procedures are more complicated and the cost will be higher. 2. As far as utility model and design are concerned, it needs to go through the stages of acceptance, preliminary examination and authorization announcement. Because there is no need for substantive examination, the time for authorization of utility models and designs is relatively short, generally 6- 10 months.
