Documents and information you need before filing — in China or through international routes.
Coming soonA quick self-check for brands selling or planning to sell in multiple markets.
Coming soonHow one international application can cover multiple member countries.

The Madrid System lets an applicant file one international application designating multiple member countries, instead of filing separately in each one. We can assess whether the Madrid route or direct national filings suit your markets better. [Verify current system rules before publishing.]
Many offices require foreign applicants to act through a local attorney or agent, and requirements differ by country. We coordinate the local side so you deal with one team. [Verify per-jurisdiction rules before publishing.]
Timelines vary widely by jurisdiction and case. We will share the typical timeline for your target markets in your inquiry response. [Company to confirm standard timeline language — avoid publishing fixed promises.]
Fees depend on the jurisdictions, number of classes and service scope. Please submit an inquiry and we will provide a written quotation. [Company to confirm pricing policy — do not publish prices until approved.]
[Planned section — short articles on China IP law changes, examination trends and case notes. Company to decide publishing responsibility and review process before launch.]
