China trademark monitoring watches CNIPA publications for filings that conflict with your brand, so you can act during the 3-month opposition window instead of discovering the problem years later.
What monitoring actually watches
A monitoring service scans new applications, publications and registrations for your exact name, similar names, your logo, and your classes. When a match appears, you receive an alert with the application details and a recommendation.
Why it matters in China
China is first-to-file, and the opposition window closes 3 months after publication. Without monitoring, a squatter can register your name and you will not know until they complain about your listings or demand payment. By then, the fix costs far more than the monitoring subscription.
What good alerts include
- The conflicting application number and owner
- The classes and goods involved
- How similar the mark really is
- Whether opposing is worth it, and the deadline
How to start
Monitoring is listed as an add-on on our pricing page at $399 per year, and it is included in the Brand Protection plan. If you already own a China trademark, send us the registration number and we will set up the watch within a few days.
