China is a first-to-file jurisdiction: the registration generally goes to whoever files first, not to whoever used the mark first elsewhere. We handle the search, the filing and the follow-up for foreign brand owners, in English, at a fixed price.

China registers marks on a first-to-file basis — the practical consequences are worth understanding before you file
A manufacturer, distributor or unrelated third party who files before you can hold the registration, even where you used the mark first outside China
Applications are sometimes filed against brands that are well known abroad but not yet registered in China
Rights in China generally flow from the registration, which is why sorting out a conflicting filing later is slower and more expensive than filing early
You see the search result and a written price before any money changes hands
Send us the mark and the goods or services you need. We check it against earlier filings and existing registrations in China.
We confirm the class list and the final price in writing, and flag anything in the search result that affects the filing.
You pay the agreed fixed fee by PayPal or bank transfer. No payment is taken before you have confirmed the quote.
We prepare and file the application with CNIPA and keep you updated at each stage through the file.
