    Steps for Utility Patent Registration in China

    01

    Patentability Assessment

    Evaluate whether your invention meets CNIPA’s standards for novelty, practical utility, and industrial applicability.

    02

    Preparation of Application

    Prepare a detailed utility model application, including claims, description, abstract, and necessary drawings.

    03

    Filing of Application

    Submit the application to CNIPA through an authorized patent attorney or via the official CNIPA system.

    04

    Formality Examination

    CNIPA reviews the application for formal compliance. Utility patents in China skip substantive examination.

    05

    Grant and Publication

    If accepted, the utility patent is granted and published in the official gazette, providing protection from the filing date.

    06

    The official utility model patent certificate is issued by CNIPA, granting rights typically for 10 years from filing date.

    A Utility Patent in China protects new technical solutions relating to the shape or structure of a product, offering faster and cost-effective protection.

    Typically, the CNIPA grants utility model patents within 6 to 12 months as no substantive examination is required — ideal for rapidly evolving products or markets.

    Utility Patent Registration in China Start Smart, Protect Innovation

    China is one of the largest markets in the world for innovation and product manufacturing. Registering a utility patent (also called a utility model patent) in China offers protection for new technical solutions related to the shape or structure of a product. It’s an ideal option for incremental inventions with shorter commercialization cycles. We help clients navigate the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) system to register their utility models smoothly and efficiently.

    ✅ Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a utility model patent in China?
    +
    A utility model patent protects new technical solutions relating to a product’s shape, structure, or a combination thereof. It does not protect processes or methods. It is often referred to as a “small invention patent” and is faster and easier to obtain than an invention patent.
    Who can apply for a utility model patent in China?
    +
    Both Chinese and foreign applicants (individuals or companies) can apply. Foreign applicants must file through a registered Chinese patent agent.
    What are the main requirements for a utility model patent?
    +
    The invention must be:

    • Novel (not publicly known or used before filing)
    • Inventive (must have some technical improvement)
    • Useful (can be manufactured and used)
    How long does the registration process take?
    +
    Utility model patents are not subject to substantive examination, so the process is usually faster, often completed within 6–12 months after filing.
    What is the duration of a utility model patent in China?
    +
    A utility model patent in China is valid for 10 years from the filing date, provided annual fees are paid.
    Is a search or prior art examination required?
    +
    No substantive examination is conducted, but applicants should still conduct a novelty search to reduce the risk of invalidation later.
    What types of inventions are suitable for utility model patents?
    +
    Mechanical products, tools, devices, and components — especially where the innovation lies in structure or configuration — are ideal candidates. Software and chemical inventions are generally not eligible.
    Can I convert my utility model application to an invention patent?
    +
    Yes, under certain conditions, you can convert a utility model into an invention patent application, but this must be done within 12 months of the utility model filing date.
    Can I file a PCT application and enter China through the national phase?
    +
    Yes, China is a PCT member country, and you can enter the national phase for a utility model within 30 months of the priority date.
    Why choose us for utility patent filing in China?
    +
    We offer:

    • Expert guidance on patent strategy in China
    • Collaboration with licensed Chinese agents
    • Fast and accurate application preparation
    • Ongoing support for renewals and enforcement

      🇦🇺 Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a registered design in Australia?
      +
      A registered design in Australia protects the overall visual appearance of a product — including its shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation — but not how it works or functions.

      We assist clients in registering their designs with IP Australia, ensuring they secure exclusive rights to their product’s appearance.
      What can be protected under Australian design law?
      +
      Design registration in Australia can protect:

      • Consumer products (furniture, tools, packaging, electronics)
      • Fashion items (clothing, shoes, accessories)
      • Logos or surface patterns
      • 3D product shapes and configurations
      • Digital product interfaces

      We evaluate your design and prepare all materials required for a successful filing.
      Why should I register my design in Australia?
      +
      Registering your design gives you:

      • Exclusive rights to stop others from using, selling, or copying your design
      • A legal basis for enforcement and litigation
      • A valuable intellectual property (IP) asset for licensing or sale
      • Stronger protection against counterfeiters

      We simplify the process from start to finish — including filing, certification, and renewals.
      How long does a design registration last in Australia?
      +
      A registered design in Australia lasts for 5 years, and can be renewed once for another 5 years, giving a total of 10 years of protection.

      Our service includes renewal reminders and full support throughout the lifecycle of your registration.
      What are the steps to register a design in Australia?
      +
      The process involves:

      1. Filing the design with IP Australia
      2. Receiving a formal registration (usually within a few weeks)
      3. Optionally requesting certification, which is required to enforce your rights

      We handle all steps, including certification and legal readiness for enforcement.
      What is the difference between registration and certification?
      +
      • Registration gives you the legal status of owning the design.
      • Certification (which includes formal examination) is required to enforce your design rights in court.

      We help you register first, then apply for certification when needed — especially before licensing or litigation.
      What are the requirements to file a design?
      +
      To register your design, you need:

      • Clear visual representations (drawings or photos) from various angles
      • A brief statement of newness and distinctiveness (optional, but useful)
      • Applicant details

      Our team prepares all required documentation and handles the entire filing process with IP Australia.
      Is my design automatically protected after I create it?
      +
      No. Australia does not offer automatic protection for industrial designs. You must file and register your design with IP Australia to gain legal rights.

      We make sure your design is protected before it’s made public or used commercially.
      Can I register a design after it’s been made public?
      +
      In Australia, there is a 12-month grace period to file after public disclosure by the designer. However, filing before disclosure is strongly recommended.

      We advise on the best timing to protect your design rights effectively.
      Can I claim priority from a foreign design application?
      +
      Yes. Australia is part of the Paris Convention, so you can claim priority from a design filed in another country within the past 6 months.

      We handle cross-border filings and coordinate your priority claims to preserve your earlier filing date.
      How long does it take to register a design in Australia?
      +
      If your application is in order, registration can be completed in as little as 4 to 8 weeks. Certification, if requested, may take additional time.

      We ensure all materials meet IP Australia’s standards to minimize delays.
      What happens if someone copies my registered design?
      +
      Once your design is certified, you can:

      • Send cease and desist notices
      • File a lawsuit for damages or an injunction
      • Prevent imports at the border

      We can connect you with legal experts and support enforcement through proper certification.
