Service
IP protection doesn't end at registration. Trademarks expire, patents lapse, and copycats never stop. Our annual service keeps your portfolio active and protected.
After you register a trademark in China, CNIPA does not proactively protect it for you. If a competitor files a confusingly similar mark in a related class, you have only 3 months during the opposition period to challenge it. Without monitoring, you may never know about the filing until it's too late. Our system scans new CNIPA publications weekly and alerts you to potential conflicts before the opposition window closes.
China trademarks must be renewed every 10 years. Patent annual fees are due yearly and increase over time. Missing a renewal deadline means losing your rights, and re-registering means starting from scratch. Our IP Guardian service tracks every deadline across your entire portfolio and handles payments automatically, ensuring nothing lapses due to oversight.
For $1,200 per year, you receive trademark monitoring and alerts, automatic renewal management, patent annual fee tracking and payment, 1-2 complimentary trademark searches, priority 24-hour response to any IP questions, quarterly portfolio health reports, and a 20% discount on any new trademark or patent filings. It is the most cost-effective way to maintain peace of mind about your China IP portfolio.
