WHY IT MATTERS

Why Foreign Applicants Need Local China Patent Support

You focus on your innovation. We handle the China filing process.

Filing a patent in China as a foreign applicant is not the same as a routine domestic filing. It involves CNIPA procedures, Chinese-language documentation and a local agent of record — details that are easy to get wrong without on-the-ground support.

  • Local China patent professionals
  • CNIPA filing support
  • Chinese translation coordination
  • Filing and prosecution support
  • Office Action handling
  • Ongoing case updates
