China: Trademark Official Fees Halved

By Karen Lim

Official trademark fees in China were reduced by 50% from April 1, 2017.  The current fees are listed below:

ActionFee  (RMB)Fee  (USD)*
Filing trademark application (per class)30044
Additional fees for goods/services in excess of ten items per class304
Applying for re-issuance of a registration certificate50074
Applying for assignment / transfer of a trademark registration/application50074
Renewal of trademark registration (per class)1000147
Late filing of renewal documents during grace period25037
Applications for trademark review before the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board (“TRAB”) (refusal appeal, opposition appeal, nonuse cancellation appeal, invalidation)750110
Recording change of name or address or agent of owner for mark (per class)25037
Obtaining a certified document507
Applying for collective or certification mark per class1500221
Filing an opposition per mark per class50074
Cancellation procedures per mark per class50074
Applying for recordal of a license15022

*USD figures are subject to foreign currency fluctuations.

The fee reductions are consistent with the Chinese government’s five-year plan to raise China’s status as a country strong in IP assets.  The plan also calls for procedures to simplify online filing and to open up centers throughout the country to receive new trademark applications.  While the lower fees benefit trademark owners, they also raise concerns about increased bad-faith filings.
