Clear fees, clear scope
A practical China trademark budget.
Our standard package is $199 for one class and up to 10 goods or services. The official CNIPA filing fee is included, so there are no surprise government fees later.
What the fee covers
One class, up to 10 items, handled end to end.
Each class protects a defined group of goods or services. If your business needs wider coverage, we will explain the additional class cost before you proceed.
Risk review
Preliminary search and a plain-English view of obvious conflicts in the proposed class.
Application work
Goods selection, document checking, application preparation and CNIPA submission.
Status updates
We track examination and publication and notify you when action or a decision is needed.
Certificate delivery
Electronic delivery of the registration certificate and renewal guidance after approval.
What usually happens
Timeline is an estimate, not a promise.
CNIPA’s examination process determines the actual timeline. Most straightforward matters take several months, but examination, publication, and any objections can change the schedule.
- 1–2 weeks
Filing receipt
After submission, CNIPA typically issues an official filing receipt.
- Several months
Formal and substantive examination
CNIPA checks the documents, distinctiveness and any conflicts with earlier marks.
- 3 months
Publication period
Approved marks are published and third parties have an opportunity to oppose.
- After publication
Registration and certificate
If no successful opposition is filed, registration is approved and the certificate is issued.
Scope of the package
Know what is included before you file.
Clarity about scope protects both sides. The $199 package covers a standard one-class filing and the ordinary steps leading to certificate delivery.
Included
Preliminary search, class advice, standard document preparation, CNIPA filing, official filing fee, ordinary status updates and certificate delivery.
Not included
Additional classes or items, refusal review, opposition proceedings, renewal, assignment, change of name/address, and third-party legal proceedings.
No agency can guarantee registration. CNIPA makes the final decision after examination, and publication allows third parties to oppose.
