Applying for a trademark is a crucial step that’s often ignored by brands who are interested to sell in China. It’s practically impossible to engage in the Chinese market long term, without registering your trademark.
Mostly all e-commerce or social networking sites require a Chinese trademark registration to remove infringing listings. China does not protect unregistered trademarks. If you are selling branded products in China without having registered a trademark, there is a big chance someone else will register your trademark. Also, with the registered trademark, a company is more attractive to its customers. The customers give more respect and trust to the companies that are protecting and investing in their trademarks.
