China Trademark Secrets: Don’t let your Brand Unprotected

Registering Your Trademark in China:

A Process Much Simpler Than Expected

China Trademark Search is a recurring inquiry we receive at Shineza. We understand businesses want their brand name and logos to be fully protected. Protecting your brand in China might seem complex at first, but with the right guidance and a licensed legal team, it’s far easier than most people imagine.

Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we help you register your trademark in China with clarity, speed, and full legal backing.

Step 1: Purchase 

Once you purchase our **Trademark Filing Service**, we send you a Power of Attorney (POA) document.

We’ll guide you step by step and take care of the submission to the Trademark Office.

 Step 2: Identity & Contact Info

Step 2: Identity & Contact Info

To comply with Chinese legal procedures, we need:

  • A scanned copy of your passport/business registration with signature (we’ll translate it legally into Chinese)
  • Your contact address
  • (Optional) Your Chinese name, if you have one

Step 3: The Mark, Designated items & POA

You provide:

  • The logo and/or name you want to register
  • A designation of your products or services
  • A scan of POA with your signature

We then perform a pre-screening check (1–2 weeks) to ensure there are no identical trademarks already registered in the same class.

Step 4: Confirmation & Application

Once the screening is clear:

  • You confirm the final class and designated goods
  • We draft and translate all forms (English + Chinese)
  • You approve the service on Fiverr (per Fiverr policy)
  • We submit the official application to the TM office

Step 5: Filing & Updates

  • The next day, we receive your application number
  • Around a month later, we get the acceptance notice
  • Final decision is expected within 4 to 6 months
  • Throughout, we stay in contact and handle all follow-up
