Trade mark registration in China

Trade mark registration in China

There are two ways an Australian trade mark owner can seek protection via trade mark registration in China:

1. File an application directly in China through a Chinese trade mark agent; or
2. File an application through the Madrid Protocol (WIPO). This is an international registration system which allows trade mark owners the option of protecting their trade mark in multiple countries by filing one application.

If you’re thinking about extending your trade mark protection to China, please get in touch and we can talk through the options available to you.
