Essential guides

Two decisions. A complete place to start.

Long-form, practical guides connecting the evidence, local differences and next steps. Read a chapter or follow the full process.

01 Search & results

What should I check before I file?

Learn how to use the official CNIPA entry point, then read China trademark records with the name and intended goods or services in mind.

02 Classes & names

Which products, services and names need protection?

Connect what you sell with the right class questions, and consider the names customers will use.

Continue after your China search

Monthly updates, with your first exact name free

Track newly found exact-name records and changes in mainland China. Your first exact name is free per customer. Each additional name is US$20/month, with at least three months prepaid (US$60 per additional name). The team confirms your watch; similar names, logos and deadline management are excluded.

03 Countries & costs

Where should I file, and what should I budget?

Start with the filing requirements in each market, then compare costs for the countries and classes you are considering.

United States

Understand filing-basis, use-evidence and representation questions before preparing a US application.

China

Finished searching or ready to apply? Review China filing fees, included scope and the details needed for a free preliminary professional check.

04 Trademark conflicts

What if another trademark is in the way?

A trademark conflict in China

Someone else filed your brand name?

Start with the record’s status. Compare opposition, invalidation and non-use cancellation, and see which evidence to preserve.

Find the right starting point

Learn from public China trademark cases

Explore ownership, Chinese names, product scope and manufacturing through independent case studies. These are not Trademarkora client results.

China Trademark Case Studies →

A dispute needs a separate assessment of the record, evidence and timing. A free filing check does not assess an opposition, invalidation or cancellation case.

Before you choose what to file

Word mark or logo?

Compare the versions you use, planned design changes and the facts needed before recommending what to protect.

Filing decisions

Names, evidence, suppliers and territorial coverage

Prepare the decisions that sit between a general country guide and your own filing brief.
