Steps for Trademark Registration in China
Conduct a Trademark Search
Check for existing trademarks using CNIPA’s database to avoid conflicts and improve chances of approval.
File Application with CNIPA
Submit your application through a local agent to the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA).
Formality Examination
CNIPA reviews the application for completeness, format, and necessary documentation.
Substantive Examination
The trademark is assessed for distinctiveness and any conflicts with earlier rights or laws.
Publication in Gazette
The approved trademark is published in the CNIPA Gazette for public review and objections.
Opposition Period (3 Months)
Any interested party may file an objection within three months of publication.
Issuance of Certificate
If unopposed or resolved, the CNIPA will issue a Registration Certificate valid for 10 years.
Renewal & Maintenance
Renew every 10 years. Grace period of 6 months allowed post-expiry with surcharge.
China follows a strict “first-to-file” system, meaning the first person to register a trademark holds the legal rights—even if someone else used it earlier.
The entire process may take 9–15 months. Foreign applicants are required to appoint a local Chinese trademark attorney or firm for filing.
Our expert legal team assists foreign businesses with all stages of the Chinese trademark process—from filing and publication to renewal and opposition handling.
