What a China trademark filing quote should show

TLDR
A transparent quote distinguishes CNIPA’s fee from agency work and states the class, item, and later-procedure boundaries.

The government application fee is only one part of the total. A useful quote separates the official schedule from agency work and shows how classes and item counts affect the amount due.

Start with the official fee schedule

CNIPA’s published schedule lists CNY 300 for a paper application in one class with up to 10 goods or services items, plus CNY 30 for each additional item. It lists CNY 270 for an electronic application that accepts electronic communications, plus CNY 27 for each item beyond 10. The schedule states that these rates have applied since July 1, 2019.

Check the current CNIPA fee table before relying on those figures. They are official fees, not a complete agency quote.

Then identify the service work and exclusions

Agency work may include checking the filing inputs, preparing the application, mapping selected goods or services, submitting through the recorded filing entity, tracking the matter, and handling notices within the quoted scope. Ask whether official fees, translations, extra items, refusal work, and later procedures are included or billed separately.

  • How many marks and classes are included?
  • How many goods or services items are included in each class?
  • What is the charge for an extra item?
  • Which later procedures are outside the filing quote?
