Why Register Your Trademarks in China?

Secure your trademark in China before it’s too late

China is a first-to-file country, meaning the first person to file a trademark application for a particular mark is the owner of that mark, even if they were not the first to use it in commerce. Trademark owners need to be proactive in registering their trademarks in China as soon as possible, even if they are not yet doing business there.

Prevent Others From Using Your Trademark

China is a major hub for counterfeit goods, and fashion brands are a prime target. Once your trademark is registered in China, no one else can legally use it without your permission. This is critical for protecting your brand’s identity and reputation in the global market.

Enforce Your Trademark Rights Against Infringers

If someone in China does use your trademarked name, slogans, or logos without your permission, you can take legal action to stop them. This is only possible once your trademark is registered.

Use Your Trademark For Your Goods and Services in China

Registering your trademark in China gives you the exclusive right to use your mark. This means that you can use your mark on your products and services without fear of someone else claiming that you are infringing on their trademark rights.

Ensure Smooth Expansion into China

China is the world's largest consumer market, and the fashion industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors. By registering your trademark in China, you can prevent local competitors from registering a similar mark and using it to confuse your customers. This will help you avoid future legal challenges and ensure that you can operate your business smoothly in the global market.

Time Could Be Running Out!

The Chinese trademark office has a strict deadline for filing oppositions to conflicting marks. If you do not take steps to oppose the registration of a conflicting mark in China within the statutory deadline, you may lose the right to use your own mark in China.
