How much does adding a class to my Chinese trademark application cost?
Written by Igor Demcak
Founder & Trademark Attorney
Adding a class to your Chinese trademark application incurs an additional cost based on the number of items (goods or services) included in that class. The basic fee for trademark registration in China is ¥300 (approximately $47) per item. An extra ¥30 (approximately $4) is charged per additional item in the same class.
Note that the price for an additional trademark class is determined by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) and is subject to change.
