TLDR
Choose the trademark’s legal owner first. Companies provide an official registration document; individuals provide the passport information page. Both provide the mark, classes and items, and a name and style for the editable filing signature.

On this page

Company or individual?

The applicant is the legal owner that will appear on the CNIPA record. Use the company, organization, or individual that should own the trademark.

Company or organization
Use the exact registered legal name. Provide the registered address, country or region, postal code, and a contact name and phone. Upload a Certificate of Incorporation, business license, or equivalent official company registration document as a PDF.
Individual
Use the full legal name shown on the passport. Provide the current residential address, country or region, postal code, and a contact name and phone. Upload the passport information page as a PDF.

Document quality

Upload the original digital document or a clear, complete, unaltered color scan as a PDF no larger than 10 MB. Every page edge and all document details must remain visible. Do not redact, retouch, cover, remove, crop out, or change any text, photograph, seal, number, or other document information.

The applicant name must match the identity document exactly. A company’s registered address should match the official registration record. Passports usually do not show an address, so an individual should enter their current full residential address.
