Why brands choose us

China filing, without the guesswork

We turn a confusing, Mandarin-only process into a predictable, English-language service with prices you see before you pay.

⚑

First-to-file protection

In China the first applicant wins — a US or EU registration gives no protection here. We help you file early, before a supplier or squatter takes your name.

🛡

CNIPA-licensed agent

We file through a licensed Chinese trademark agency. Foreign individuals and companies can register directly — no Chinese entity, no local address, no visa.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a Chinese company to register a trademark in China?

No. Foreign companies and individuals can file directly with the CNIPA through a licensed agent. You need no Chinese entity, no local address, and no visa. Your registration is valid for 10 years and renewable.

I already have a US/EU trademark. Doesn't that cover China?

No — China is strictly first-to-file. A US or EU registration gives you no rights in China. Many foreign brands only discover a supplier or squatter has already registered their name, which can block their own products or force a buy-back. File early.

What does the $299 registration include?

One class, the CNIPA official fee, up to 10 goods/services items, our service fee, the Power of Attorney preparation and Chinese translation, filing, and stage-by-stage updates. Extra classes are $269 each; extra items beyond 10 are $15 each.

How long until I get the certificate?

Officially 9–12 months from filing. In a clean file we often see it closer to 7–9 months. You receive the acceptance notice in about two weeks, and we report every stage.

What if my trademark is refused?

You can file a review of refusal within 15 days — a separate service from $499, taking about 6–12 months. We assess your refusal notice free of charge and advise whether a review is worthwhile.
