About this skill

Problem It Solves

Before filing, teams often get stuck on search quality, class coverage, and application hygiene: near-identical names, missing Nice classes, or non-standard materials can trigger rejection, opposition, and weak enforcement. This skill turns China trademark rules into a practical workflow for founders, SMB owners, brand managers, and individual businesses.

How It Works

The skill moves through five stages:
- Search and similarity checks: covers name, graphic elements, class selection, query rules, similarity standards, data lag, and result limits.
- Class planning: maps business lines to Nice classes 1-45 and separates core, related, and defensive classes with industry examples.
- Application materials: distinguishes enterprise applicants from individual business license holders, and lists mark image size, JPG resolution, and item-entry constraints.
- Examination tracking: walks through formal examination, substantive examination, preliminary publication, registration publication, and certificate issuance.
- Post-registration maintenance: includes rejection review, opposition defense, renewal, changes, assignment, and licensing.

Boundaries

The content targets mainland China trademark registration. Official fees follow the 2025 schedule, while final outcomes depend on CNIPA's current rules, public notices, and examiner judgment. It is useful for strategy and pre-filing checks, not a substitute for case-specific legal or agency advice, and it does not guarantee registration.

Best For
