FAQ

Common questions

Register trademarks before launch?
Usually yes under first-to-file rules. Coordinate China filings with your global portfolio.
What should an IP intake include?
The mark, patent, or work, the China filing status, the city where infringement is happening, and whether you need customs recordation or a civil claim. Registration and enforcement are different instructions.
Next step?
See the IP guide, then contact a specialist here.
