Filing a China trademark from overseas
For many overseas businesses, China trademark filing looks confusing because the class system, CNIPA notices, and agency filing rules are unfamiliar. This is the practical starting point Ginbing uses.

Start with the filing scope
Ginbing currently sells one public filing service: China trademark registration for businesses outside mainland China. The public price is USD 150 per class, including the CNIPA filing fee and up to 10 goods or services items in that class.
Additional goods or services items beyond the first 10 in the same class are USD 10 each.
Pick classes before anything else
A China trademark application is tied to classes and specific goods or services. If you sell clothing, software, and retail services, those may not all belong in the same class.
Read trademark classes and items before choosing your filing scope.
Prepare clean applicant and mark details
The application needs the legal applicant name, applicant address, the mark, the selected classes and items, and filing authorization. Ginbing files through Ginbing (Suzhou) Trading Co., Ltd., the Ginbing group China entity recorded with CNIPA.
The requirements page lists the current self-service boundary for overseas applicants: what you need to file.
Expect notices, not silence
After filing, CNIPA communicates through official notices in Chinese. Ginbing translates official notices into English and posts them to the customer account.
The docs explain CNIPA official notices and the post-filing path.
