Why these tools exist

First-to-file is unforgiving

Whoever files first usually owns the mark in China — regardless of who used it first overseas. Many brands learn this only after being squatted.

Pricing is opaque abroad

Official CNIPA fees are low (CNY 270/class online) but foreign applicants also face translation, legalization and agency fees. We make the total visible.

Deadlines are short

Opposition windows (3 months) and refusal reviews (15 days) are easy to miss from overseas. The tools flag what is urgent.

Frequently asked questions

Are the tools really free?

Yes. They are single-file pages that run entirely in your browser. There is no login, no payment and no data is sent anywhere.

How accurate is the fee calculator?

It uses published CNIPA official fees (CNY 270/class online for the first 10 items, plus per-item overage) and a market range for agency fees. Treat results as planning figures; confirm live rates before filing.

Can a foreigner file a China trademark directly?

No — a foreign applicant without a residence or business premises in China must use a CNIPA-recorded Chinese trademark agent. That is the service we provide.

Do these tools give legal advice?

No, they are general self-assessment and planning aids, not legal advice. For your specific case, book a consultation or consult a qualified Chinese IP professional.
