- [Choosing the agency is the real decision](/blog/how-to-choose-a-china-trademark-agency) - Published 2026-07-11. Before you pay, confirm who will file, what you will pay, what the fee covers, and what the agency cannot promise.
- [Does a US trademark protect your brand in China?](/blog/china-trademark-from-us) - Published 2026-07-10; updated 2026-07-11. A US trademark protects the United States, not China. A separate China filing is needed for a Chinese registration.
- [China trademarks and Amazon Brand Registry](/blog/china-trademark-for-amazon-brand-registry) - Published 2026-07-10; updated 2026-07-11. A China trademark does not automatically qualify a brand for Amazon Brand Registry. Its role is China-side protection.
- [File before you manufacture](/blog/china-trademark-before-manufacturing) - Published 2026-07-10; updated 2026-07-11. Manufacturing in China puts your brand in front of factories, suppliers, and agents under a first-to-file system. File the mark before the first run, not after a problem.
- [Your Chinese-character mark is a separate filing](/blog/china-trademark-chinese-character-name) - Published 2026-07-10; updated 2026-07-11. A Latin-letter registration does not automatically protect a Chinese-character brand name. Filing both means evaluating and filing each mark.
- [Why China trademark timelines stretch](/blog/how-long-china-trademark-takes) - Published 2026-07-10; updated 2026-07-11. How examination, correction requests, refusals, and oppositions change the usual China trademark timeline.
- [China trademarks on a startup budget](/blog/china-trademark-for-small-business) - Published 2026-07-10; updated 2026-07-11. A startup can compare class-by-class cost with the exposure left by postponing coverage. Staging remains a tradeoff, not a default.
- [Filing a China trademark from overseas](/blog/china-trademark-registration-for-overseas-businesses) - Published 2026-06-14; updated 2026-07-11. How the overseas filing flow works, from scope and classes to notices and timing.
- [What first-to-file changes for an overseas brand](/blog/china-trademark-first-to-file) - Published 2026-06-14; updated 2026-07-11. Manufacturing, distribution, and launch expose a mark before sales begin. Use those moments to set the filing date.
- [China trademarks for e-commerce](/blog/china-trademark-for-overseas-ecommerce) - Published 2026-06-14; updated 2026-07-11. A China registration provides China-side protection. Earlier filings and customs recordation can affect branded exports, while marketplace programs follow their own rules.
- [What Ginbing’s $150 filing fee covers](/blog/china-trademark-cost-breakdown-cnipa-fee-and-the-rest) - Published 2026-06-14; updated 2026-07-11. Ginbing’s service uses its own CNIPA-recorded agency. The price is USD 150 per class, plus USD 10 per item beyond the first 10.
