From first email to filed application: five steps, a written quotation in the middle, and no red tape. This page is the whole process.
An email is enough—the trademark or invention, what you actually sell in plain language, where the company is incorporated, and any deadline you are facing. The contact page lists what helps; you don't need all of it. The first consultation is free.
Every inquiry gets a reply within 3 working days. For a trademark, that reply includes a free preliminary screening—checking for identical marks in the classes you care about—plus the classes and similar groups we would file in and the official fees CNIPA will charge.
Official fees at the government rate in one column, our own service fee in another—quoted per matter, before you commit. Nothing bundled, nothing marked up, no hidden charges. How we charge →
We run a conflict check first, then send the engagement letter and power of attorney (POA) for signature—or download the POA below, sign it and send it back. For a standard filing the POA simply needs a signature—no notarization, no Apostille. Why →
We file the application, forward you the official notice of acceptance, docket every deadline, and report each event as it happens—examination, publication, registration, and anything that needs your decision—with our recommendation attached.
Invoices match the written quotation line by line: official fees at the government's published rates, our service fee as quoted. Payment is by bank transfer; the receiving account and currency are stated in the quotation and the engagement letter. If any figure on an invoice does not match the quotation, you are entitled to question it on the spot—that is what itemization is for.
The trademark power of attorney, ready to download, fill in and sign. Word to edit, PDF to print—Chinese and English side by side on a single page, and for a standard filing a signature is all it takes.

Patent matters use the POA in CNIPA's prescribed format—we send it with the engagement papers.
For patents: the specification and drawings, inventor details, and priority documents (if any)—after a first assessment we will list exactly what your case needs.
