Trademark Registration in China General Information
The registration of trademarks and trade names in the
People’s Republic of China comes through obligations which
commit the state to be a signatory to agreements: The WTO, the Paris
Convention, Madrid, Nice Convention, and the Vienna Convention on the
Trademark Law and Agreement on Intellectual Property Rights. Based on
the commitments to World Trade Organizations, foreign applicants are
allowed to be granted a trademark registration in the
People’s Republic of China (PRC)
The registration of trademarks and trade names in China is filed with
the Trademark Office of the PRC. If the application is approved, the
mark will be published in the Bulletin of Trademarks in the PRC and
will have three months for any opposition by third party claiming
previous rights. If no opposition is submitted
within that period, the application will proceed to the registration.
The certificate shall be issued and the mark will be published in the
bulletin of new brands as a trademark. This protection will be valid
for ten years from the date on which the registration is granted. The
mark may be renewed for an additional period of ten years, 6 months
before the expiration date of the same. Nominal, Figurative, collective
and certification trademarks are the types of brands that can be
protected in China.
In addition to the registration of trademarks and trade names in china
we can see that the Trademark Office accepts applications for claiming
priority on the basis of the implementation of treaties such as the
above. In the event of filing an application for registration of a
trademark in a foreign country, you will enjoy priority rights, if the
applicant submits an application to register the same mark with the
same products in China within six months from the date of application,
in countries member to the Paris Convention.
