How to register a trademark in China, namely, China trademark registration, is one of Tannet's intellectual property services for global investors to protect their trademark, patent and copyright. A trademark, trade mark, or trade-mark is a recognizable sign, design, or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others, although trademarks used to identify services are usually called service marks. The trademark owner can be an individual, business organization, or any legal entity. A trademark may be located on a package, a label, a voucher, or on the product itself.
I. Aavailability Search
Before filing your application, please find out whether or not that name is already being used for the type of product or service that you wish to use it for.
We can search the China Trademark with our own resources for you, which is for free; also, there is another way to search trademark with related authorities, which takes some time and costs some money. The search result will minimize the risk for the whole application and registration process. Therefore, the search service with authorities is strongly recommended.
II. Application Filing
An application must include the following documents before the China Trademark Office will accept it.
(1) Authorization letter of registration;
(2) Qualification certificate of applicant;
(3) A clear drawing of the trademark;
(4) A listing of the goods or services;
(5) The filing fee for at least one class of goods or services.
III. Trademark Examination
After the China Trademark Office determines that you have met the minimum filing requirements, the application is forwarded to an examining attorney. This may take a number of months. The examining attorney reviews the application to determine whether it complies with all applicable rules and statutes and includes all required fees.
A complete examination includes a search for conflicting marks, and an examination of the written application, the drawing, and any specimen.
IV. Trademark Registration
