Read more for required docs and patent fee schedule.
How much does a patent cost in China?
The cost of obtaining a patent in China, including government fees and professional fees, depends on the type of patent (invention, utility model, or design), the complexity of the application, and the service (e.g., filing, examination, registration, maintenance) you need.
Is it mandotory to register a copyright?
No, it isn’t. In China, copyright protection is automatic upon creating a work. However, registering your copyright with the Copyright Protection Center of China (CPCC) offers significant advantages, especially when addressing ownership disputes or infringement issues, notably with entities like China Customs or e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba.
How to initiate an IP infringement litigation?
Besides sharing case details and evidence with a Chinese registered lawyer, foreign IP owners should also notarize, legalize, and translate ID proof, board resolutions, POA, and evidence in advance for litigation before a court in China.

TESTIMONIALS
“I just wanted to personally share how wonderful my IP Experience had been with Jimmy Yang. As he is truly one of the best attorneys I’ve ever worked with. He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable and talented, but also deeply honest, generous, kind, and genuinely caring.
I’ve had my fair share of disappointing experiences with other patent lawyers in the past, but I can say with absolute certainty: I will never leave Jimmy. I trust him 1000%. I highly recommend him to anyone who’s fortunate enough to have him represent them .
Additionally, he’s already helped me secure three strong patents in China — and I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and commitment. If you choose to work with him, I’m confident you’ll feel the same. You’d be incredibly lucky to have him represent you , as well as be your friend.
Feel free to give me a call if you’d like to discuss anything directly. I’m based in New York City, and Jimmy can share my contact information wit you, if you like it.“
He really knew his stuff – super professional and gave me clear, useful advice every step of the way. What really stood out was how patient and available he was. I had tons of questions (and some worries!), but he always took the time to explain things clearly and answered promptly, which was a huge relief.
On top of being a great lawyer, he’s also just a really good guy – easy to talk to and genuinely helpful. He made the whole process much smoother than I expected. And after 6 months from the filling my patent application has been accepted!!
If you need help with IP in China, I’d totally recommend without hesitation. Five stars!”
“Foreign companies face numerous challenges when registering patents, trademarks, and designs in China. These include language barriers, high fees for patent attorneys, and more. However, through his experience working with numerous foreign clients, he has streamlined the business process, making him one of the patent attorneys capable of providing high-quality services at reasonable fees.”
