Why register a trademark in China?

Here are the reasons: If you want to enter the Chinese commercial market or you know that in the future there will be such a possibility, you must register your trademark. Unless it’s already registered here. Now you’ll probably tap your forehead: How is my trademark is already registered in China? Why? For what? Here’s the explanation. There’s a ‘first to file’ law in China. This means that the first person who’ll register the trademark is its full owner. OK, but why do the Chinese register trademarks of companies that don’t operate in the Chinese market? Because these companies may want to operate on the Chinese market in the future, and without a registered mark they won’t have a license for business. Then what? Company X, the owner of the brand name, trademark and slogan of such a company will be happy to sell them the proper rights and, of course, earn. And believe us – the price that he’ll offer will sweep them out of their feet.

  • An example from life: Zhan Baosheng registered the name TESLA in China and sold it to Elon Musk for several million dollars. Even such American giants are powerless before the law first to file. They have two options: either settle amicably and buy back property rights or not enter the Chinese market. There is no third option.
  • Second example: We know a Polish citizen who registered in China more than 100 trademarks of Polish companies, because maybe in the future one of them will want to enter the Chinese market. From what we know, he sold the right to one trade mark. But what is surprising – apparently already came out ahead on this deal.
  • Example three: one Polish company sold high-quality products to China. The Chinese broker bought them and what did he do? He registered the trademark of this company in China. After some time, he finished the business with a Polish company, so the Polish producer found a different customer in China. Unfortunately, the new recipient don’t agree to the cooperation, because it turned out that the company’s trademark is already registered by some other Chinese company.

In China, there is a plague associated with the registration of trademarks by foreign companies before business owners do. This is perfectly legal here. Unfortunately, there are situations in which an agency has ‘friends’ in the company’s registration offices and registers trademarks of various entities not only from abroad, but also from China before their owners do. You can’t manufacture or import products from China that already have a registered trademark and you’re not the owner. Furthermore, if someone registers your trademark here, you can’t sell your products to China.Registration of a trademark in China isn’t expensive and we really recommend it for the future, just in case and for peace of mind.
