CHINA’S CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES

CHINA’S CLASSIFICATION  is a system that all the goods and services that can be validly designated in a trademark application in China according to the relevant regulation from National Intellectual Property Administration (CPINA). Once the application is submitted, CPINA verifies each of the submitted documents. Based on its verification, CPINA will recommend if the application can be processed further or more documents or information is needed by them for moving ahead on the trademark registration process. Once CPINA has completed the document verification and is satisfied with the same, it starts the process of registering the trademark. The process is lengthy and takes time. The applicant can expect this process to take approximately 1 year.

The list of Trademark Classification of goods or services appearing in the class below are general indications relating to the fields to which, in principle, the goods or services belong.

Highly recommend!

Highly recommend the service from GWBMA. Thought it was going to be self-serve trademark registration because of the cheap price point, however turned out the attorney contacted me and made sure he registered everything accurately. And I also received the Nice Class in English by email. There were so many steps and tasks, not to mention understanding the replies and applications to ensure that my trademark application was. Thank you!
