Unlike a trademark, a copyright protects creative works, meaning books, photographs, drawings, paintings, plays, etc. It also protects computer code, some advertising language, and a variety of other not-so-obvious categories.
A copyright is created the moment you create the works – the moment you put “pen to paper.” However, enforcing those rights often is difficult without a copyright registration.
For a foreign language trademark, if there is a corresponding Chinese name, the Chinese public will subconsciously give it a Chinese name. Chinese trademark is a pre-application system, if your company does not register the Chinese version of the trademark, others may register.
We provide you with the service of giving your trademark a Chinese name to help you open up the Chinese market.
Trademark searches are not required before filing an application, but they are highly advisable to reduce the risk of application rejection.
If you do not conduct a thorough trademark search before applying for a China trademark registration, the application may suffer rejection due to the existence of identical or similar marks that were registered or filed before. A search makes you aware of those trademarks so that you can adjust your mark to avoid confusion before filing.
Your search results can be hundreds of pages long (millions of trademarks are registered in China each year), and multivariate analysis is needed to determine whether there is a conflict between your trademark and the other party’s trademark, but it’s not always that simple. Asking an experienced trademark agent to carefully examine your search results and advise you on the possibility that your trademark application will be accepted is critical to successful trademark acquisition.
For English tags with Chinese meaning, in addition to searching in English, you must also search for the Chinese meaning of the tag. In most cases, if your English trademark has a Chinese meaning similar to that of another company or has been registered as a trademark by another company, your English trademark will be refused to be registered by the China Trademark Office.
The types of trademark search in China include: Chinese characters, Chinese pinyin, English letters, numbers, and graphics that can be used for trademarks.
China adopts the International Classification of goods and Services established in accordance with the Nice Convention. The designated goods (services) applying for the trademark must be clear. An application can only cover a class of goods (services)
It is important to note that each application shall cover only one trademark in one class. Each application must include the following documents:
– Power of Attorney, signed by the applicant. Notarization and legalization of the Power of Attorney is not required;
– Specification of goods/services;
– Electronic copy of mark
– Priority document, if priority is claimed.
Applications are examined as to the formality and substance. Examination to the formality will include the correctness of document and classification. Examination to the substance will include the registrability of the mark and possible conflict with prior rights.
Generally speaking, trademarks that apply for trademark registration directly will be registered within about 9 to 12 months from the date of application.
If no objection is raised to the registration of the trademark within three months after the publication of the trademark, or if the objection is considered to be unjustified, the trademark will be registered. The period of validity of registration is ten years from the date of registration and may be extended indefinitely for ten years each time. An application for renewal shall be made within six months prior to the expiration date or, subject to the payment of an additional fee, within six months after the expiration date. Each application for renewal shall include an application for renewal of trademark registration and a power of attorney.
