Securing trademarks and patents early to protect Chinese brands in overseas markets
We help companies register trademarks, patents, copyrights and other IP in the target country to build a protective barrier around their brand.
Service Overview
Chinese companies entering overseas markets often find themselves on the back foot because their trademarks have been squatted or they lack an IP strategy. Working with local IP agencies and lawyers, we help clients register and maintain trademarks, patents, copyrights and other rights in the target country and build a systematic IP protection plan that reduces the risk of brand and product infringement.

Our Advantages
Local professional network: We work with IP offices, law firms and agents in target countries and know the procedures well.
Protection in advance: We recommend registering core classes before entering the market to avoid squatting.
Multilingual support: We help prepare documents in Chinese, English, Russian and other languages to meet local filing requirements.
Full-cycle management: Ongoing support from registration to renewal, monitoring and enforcement.
When should we register our trademark?
We recommend starting trademark registration at least 6–12 months before entering the target market. Some countries apply a "first-to-file" principle, so the earlier you file, the better.
How long does trademark registration take?
It varies widely by country: usually 6–12 months in Central Asia and Russia, and possibly 6–18 months in some Middle Eastern countries, depending on examination and publication.
What if our trademark has been squatted?
An opposition or cancellation can be filed under the target country's law. We help assess the situation and plan a response, working with local lawyers where necessary.
