Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How to make required drawings for desgin patents in China?

Design applications should provide a clear, accurate, and complete representation of the design, including photographs, renderings, or line drawings without any surface shading (shaded line).

How can I protect my trademark in China?

To protect your trademark in China, you should register it with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) directly or by the Madrid System.

How to enter national phase in China by PCT?

Applicants must enter the national phase in China within 30 months from the 1st priority date by submitting a request form, Chinese translation of the PCT application document, and paying filing fees and surcharges (if applicable) in full.

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.
