It is important to know that China does not recognize unregistered trade mark rights. It is highly recommended that trademarks are registered before starting a business in China.
Document List for Chinese Trademark Registration:
1. Enterprise Licence such as ‘Company Registration Certificate’, ‘Business Registration Certificate’, ‘Business License’ and so on.
2. Trademark pattern in clear JPG format. It could be words, images, combination of words and graphics, or other trademark combinations.
3. Description the goods or services, which the trademark is applied to
4. Name of entrepreneur, company address, Email address, phone number.
Timeline and Process for Chinese Trademark Registration:
1. It takes about 1 month for you to get the notification of acceptance.
2. It takes about 6 months for you to get the result of the trademark examination by the China State Intellectual Property office.
3. If the trademark passes the examination of the China Trademark office, it will be published on the website “TM gazette” of China Trademark office for 3 months.
4. After the gazette, if no one has opposed the trademark, you will be given the certificate of the trademark within 1 month.
You can register many things as a trademark, including words, design, letters of an alphabet, numerals, three-dimensional symbols, and color combinations. When starting your Trademark Registration in China check the availability on TM names. Your agent will help you to check it through the government website. This site will list all kinds of relevant information, search for identical or similar TMs, check on your application status, use a generator of possible options, read the TM Gazette etc. The process will take 10 to 12 months. So be patient, since the day of your filing no one else can file the same name in your category.
