🇨🇳 Frequently Asked Questions

What is a design patent in China?
+
A design patent in China protects the visual appearance of a product — including its shape, pattern, color, or any combination of these — as long as it is new, aesthetic, and suitable for industrial application.

We help clients file and register their designs in China through the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA).
What can be protected as a design in China?
+
In China, design protection covers:

• 3D product shapes
• 2D patterns or graphics on products
• Packaging designs
• Interface layouts (GUI elements)
• Product combinations (e.g., toolkits)

We will evaluate your product and confirm whether it qualifies for design patent protection in China.
Why should I register my design in China?
+
Registering your design in China:

• Grants exclusive rights to prevent unauthorized copying or imitation
• Protects your design in one of the world’s largest manufacturing and consumer markets
• Helps enforce your rights with customs, marketplaces, and courts
• Increases commercial credibility and value

We make the process simple by preparing and filing your application directly with CNIPA.
How long does design protection last in China?
+
A registered design patent in China lasts for 15 years from the date of filing (for applications filed on or after June 1, 2021).

We track this for you and help manage all timelines and renewals.
What is required to file a design patent in China?
+
You’ll need:

• High-quality drawings or photos of the design (we can create these for you)
• A brief design explanation
• Applicant details (individual or company)
• Priority documents (if claiming earlier foreign filings)

Our team handles the entire documentation and filing process on your behalf.
Can I claim priority from another country?
+
Yes. If you’ve filed a design application in another country (such as the U.S., EU, etc.) within the past 6 months, you can claim priority in China under the Paris Convention.

We help coordinate priority claims with your foreign filings.
Does China allow international filings under the Hague Agreement?
+
Yes, China is a member of the Hague System. You can file a single international design application through WIPO and designate China.

Whether you file directly or through the Hague route, we assist with either process.
Do I need a local Chinese address or representative?
+
Yes. Foreign applicants must appoint a registered Chinese patent agent.

Our firm partners with licensed local agents in China to file and manage your design application smoothly and lawfully.
How long does it take to register a design in China?
+
The standard timeline for registration is about 6 to 9 months if there are no objections or corrections required.

We keep you updated throughout and ensure that your application meets all formal requirements to avoid delays.
Can I file multiple designs in one application?
+
China follows a one design per application rule, but you may file multiple similar designs in one submission if they belong to the same product class.

We will advise you on whether your designs can be grouped or must be filed separately.
What happens after my design is registered?
+
Once registered:

• You gain exclusive rights in China for 15 years
• Your design is listed in the public CNIPA database
• You can take legal action against infringement
• You can record your design with China Customs to stop counterfeits at the border

We provide enforcement support and can assist with monitoring and customs filings.
