How to File a Trademark in

China

Trademark registration is essential for brand protection in China. While residents can file directly, non-residents must appoint a local representative.

Brealant offers expert guidance, guiding you through a seamless and efficient filing process every step of the way.

Here’s how China residents can file a trademark application:

Create/verify an online account with the national office (or appoint Brealant).

Search conflicts (official tools/TMview).

Classify using NICE classes; draft clear, focused specifications.

Prepare owner details, priority, and a high‑quality mark representation.

File online and pay fees in full.

Track publication, opposition, and examination deadlines.

In China’s strict first-to-file system, speed and accuracy are everything. Filing errors or delays can cost you your rights. Brealant ensures your mark is filed correctly with CNIPA, with searches, office action responses, and renewals all handled for you.
