China trademark protection is often overlooked by overseas businesses. For Singapore companies entering Mainland China, filing early helps secure your brand rights before another party files first and supports smoother distribution, licensing and sales arrangements.
Where a registered trademark has not been used for three consecutive years without a valid reason, a non-use cancellation can be considered to remove a blocking registration and address certain trademark-squatting situations.
Application rejected? Retrial is the solution. You get one appeal opportunity authorized by an objective review committee, giving you time to prepare strong evidence.
Tackle application barriers and cyber squatting. Revoke maliciously registered trademarks that haven't been used for 3 consecutive years. Less costly than assignments or negotiation.
Contact our dedicated Mainland China IP team to discuss your registration strategy, retrials, or customs recordal before competitors file first.
