⚠️ Protect Your Brand Name Before Entering the Market

In major Asian markets, trademark rights belong strictly to whoever files first, not who invented the brand. Thousands of foreign companies lose their rights to local squatters every year because they delay their applications. Securing an affordable trademark registration early protects your supply chain, prevents border seizures, and keeps your manufacturing channels completely safe.

What Our Trademark Clients Say

See how businesses use our global trademark registration services to safely anchor their cross border investments.

We needed to register our trademark in China before launching and Precise IP made the entire process clear from day one. They filed quickly, handled a trademark opposition we weren't expecting, and kept us updated throughout. Our brand is now fully protected across China, Japan, and Vietnam.

Michael Turner Founder, UK Consumer Brand

What stood out was their in-house translation team. Our patent documents required precise Chinese-English translation and unlike other firms we'd worked with, Precise IP handled everything internally. No delays, no miscommunication. Our PCT national phase entry in China went through without a single issue.

Sarah Collins Legal Manager, US Technology Company

We had an urgent trademark squatting problem in China. Precise IP responded the same day, filed an invalidation request, and resolved it faster than we thought possible. Their knowledge of Chinese IP law and the first-to-file system saved us years of legal trouble.

David Chen Director, Global Manufacturing Firm

Trademark Registration Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to what our clients ask most often from China filing timelines to Madrid System strategy.

In China, standard CNIPA examination takes 9–12 months. An expedited examination track is available and can reduce this to 3–5 months for eligible applicants. We advise on whether expedited examination suits your situation based on your urgency and business timeline.

Yes trademark rights are territorial. A US or EU trademark registration gives you no protection in China, Japan, or India. You must register in each country where you want legal protection. The Madrid System allows filing in 60+ countries through one international application, but each country's IP office still examines it under local rules.

Trademark squatting is when a third party registers your brand name or logo in a country before you do. It is extremely common in China because of the first-to-file system — thousands of foreign brands lose their China trademark to squatters every year, often before launching. The only reliable protection is to file in China early — even before entering the market.

The Madrid System (administered by WIPO) lets you file one international trademark application covering 130+ member countries. It's cost-effective if you're filing in many countries simultaneously. However, it has limitations  if your base mark fails, all designations can be challenged; and each country still examines under local rules. We advise on whether Madrid or direct national filings suit your strategy better, based on your target countries and budget.

CNIPA official fees start at approximately USD 80–100 per class. Our professional service fees, translation costs, and any multi-class fees are quoted separately and in full before we begin. We provide a complete cost breakdown — government fees, professional fees, and realistic timelines so there are no surprises.

If CNIPA or another IP office refuses your application, we draft a detailed office action response arguing your case on absolute grounds (distinctiveness, descriptiveness) or relative grounds (similarity to existing marks). In China, the first OA response deadline is 4 months; second OA is 2 months. If the refusal is upheld, we can file a re-examination request before CNIPA.

In both China and Japan, a registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the registration date. It can be renewed indefinitely for further 10-year periods as long as renewal fees are paid. We track all renewal deadlines across your portfolio and notify you 12 months before each deadline falls due.

Yes. Our IP litigation team handles trademark opposition proceedings, invalidation actions, and administrative investigations with customs and market supervision bureaus in China. We also represent clients in civil trademark litigation before Chinese courts. For urgent infringement, we can apply for interim injunctions and customs recordation to stop infringing goods at the border.
