China: rules & requirements
- China is a strict first-to-file jurisdiction — the first applicant generally prevails regardless of prior use elsewhere, so early filing is critical.
- The official online per-class fee covers up to ten goods/services items; each additional item is charged separately.
- Foreign applicants without a Chinese domicile or business establishment must act through a registered Chinese trademark agency.
