IP Services

Register Your IP in China.

If you don't file your copyrights, patents, and trademarks in China, your IP has no formal protection here. We partner with Innopat, a leading Zhuhai-based IP industry expert, to give clients clear, no-nonsense advice and full filing support.

Why File Early

Filing in China isn't optional.

Companies should register or record eligible IP in China as early as possible. The full picture covers multiple types of patents (utility model, design, and invention), as well as trademarks and copyrights. Missing any of them can leave a brand exposed.

Our partner: Innopat

Innopat is a China-authorised patent and trademark agency specialising in IP law practice.

How it works with us

We brief Innopat on your project, you receive plain-English advice and a clear filing plan, and Innopat handles the formal applications and ongoing administration with the relevant authorities.
