Registering a trademark in a foreign country presented something unique which I had not considered. Should we register only the Chinese name of our company?Perhaps only the English name? Or yet maybe only our logo which doesn’t include the English or Chinese names, but rather the letters “c” and “p” in a stylized fashion.
It is important to consider how you will use your mark. In our case, we wanted to maximize our options since we may use a combination of English, Chinese, and logo across different mediums, so we opted for registering three distinct trademarks.
Searching for similar marks is easily done on the TIPO web site in English and Chinese. Once you have identified a potential name or phrase to trademark I recommend doing a preliminary search yourself before even approaching a lawyer or service provider.
Of course you should also check to make sure relevant domain names are available before trademarking. This is as simple as going to a domain registrar such as GoDaddy.com and searching for availability.
