Invention patents will generally be published after 18 months from the date of application. If a real test is put forward after publicity, it will generally be authorized after the second pass, that is, more than two years. In short, it depends on the specific case and the examiner. The law does not limit the examination time, but only the applicant's defense time (four months for one pass, two months for the second pass, and two months later). You can also put forward an open and real trial in advance when applying, which will be faster. However, it will be 18 months before authorization at the earliest. Even if the internal audit is completed within 18 months, it should be authorized after 18 months, because the application conflict should be considered.
