Your Trademark in China Today!
Why should you trademark your brand in China:
- "First-to-File" System: Whoever files a trademark application first, gets the eventual registration.
- No evidence of use is required to get a registration.
- It is quite common that a third party (sometimes your manufacturer) files your trademarks in bad faith in China and then claims infringement over your unregistered brands.

Why get a trademark in China?
China is a huge market,which has the largest population in the world. With the rapid development of China's economy, the international purchasing power of Chinese people is increasing. Owning a Chinese trademark can not only expand the sales area of products, increase the popularity and sales of products, but also prevent your brand from being used by someone else. This opportunity may help you eliminate counterfeit products and piracy to the greatest extent in China.
Most of the brands, logos and slogans you love, know and trust have been registered. A registered mark gives you a presumption of ownership and a presumed right to use the brand nationwide giving you broader protection in courts. Once registered, present yourself as an established and serious business with the ® symbol after your name, logo or slogan. Other benefits include:
- Presumed validity of the mark if you have to sue
- Additional remedies in court
- May increase the value of your company
