What are CNIPA official notices?
After filing, CNIPA communicates through official notices in Chinese. Ginbing posts the Chinese original and an English translation to your order when each official notice is received.

How Ginbing handles notices
Ginbing reads each official notice received and posts the Chinese original, English translation, issue date, deadline when present, and available action in the Notices area of the signed-in order. Messages remains available for questions about that record.
The filing receipt confirms that CNIPA accepted the application and assigned an application number. It is not an approval or registration certificate. A correction request or non-acceptance notice can arise before a receipt.
Notices that need a decision
Some notices carry deadlines or require a decision, including correction requests, partial or total refusals, and third-party oppositions during publication. Read the notice against its actual issue and deadline rather than assuming every CNIPA communication needs the same response.
