China Patent Filing & Prosecution Services
China invention patents, utility models, design patents, and PCT national-phase entry have different eligibility, document, timing, and examination requirements.
No online checkout. We review the matter first and confirm the scope, fees, and contracting entity in writing.
Priority, national-phase, office-action, and public-disclosure dates can be decisive. Before a conflict check and confidentiality arrangements are complete, send identifying information and deadlines rather than full unpublished technical details.
Typical standard scope
Choose the appropriate China patent route for invention, utility model, design, PCT entry, translation, prosecution, and portfolio deadlines.
- 01Patent type, filing route, and deadline review
- 02Applicant, inventor, priority, and ownership check
- 03Drafting, translation, drawing, and filing-scope confirmation
- 04China filing or prosecution coordination
- 05Written reporting of receipts, deadlines, and next actions
Before you instruct us
Begin with the stage of the patent matter.
A new China filing, a PCT national-phase instruction, an office-action response, and an annuity payment require different records and decisions. Tell us which stage you are at, whether an application already exists, and which deadline or business event is driving the request.
For an unpublished invention, start with nonconfidential identifying information. Complete conflict and confidentiality steps before sending the full technical disclosure. We will then confirm the filing or response scope, translation requirements, and responsibility for the next action.
Information to prepare
Start with identifying information, then share material safely.
- Applicant and inventor names
- Priority, PCT, or China application number
- Known filing, entry, response, or disclosure dates
- High-level technology and target-product description
- Existing counsel, language, and reporting requirements

Common questions
China Patent Filing & Prosecution Services
Which China patent route should we use?
The route depends on the subject matter, disclosure status, priority or PCT record, desired protection, and timing. The written recommendation identifies the route and assumptions.
Is there one fee for every China patent matter?
No. Invention, utility model, design, PCT entry, translation, office-action, and annuity work have different scopes. Representative fees appear on their dedicated pages where confirmed.
Can you work through foreign patent counsel?
Yes, subject to conflict checks and an agreed division of drafting, translation, filing, deadline, and client-contact responsibilities.
Should we send the complete unpublished invention now?
Not initially. Send identifying information and deadlines first so conflict and confidentiality steps can be addressed.
