The firm

A Chinese IP firm, working directly for foreign clients

Precise IP was established in Shenzhen in December 2013 and is registered as 广东普润知识产权代理有限公司. We hold CNIPA Patent Agency Code 44804, the licence that permits direct filing with China’s IP administration on behalf of overseas applicants.

Most foreign companies reach the Chinese register through a chain. Their domestic firm instructs an international firm, which instructs a Chinese agent. We are that Chinese agent. Working with us removes the two layers above, along with the margin each adds and the delay each introduces.

Unlike many China IP law firms that serve domestic clients and treat overseas work as a sideline, our IP legal services are built around foreign applicants. Our attorneys are qualified in China and bilingual, our litigation agents appear before the specialised IP courts, and patent translation is done in-house rather than outsourced, because a mistranslated claim is a lost patent.

For foreign companies

The questions overseas clients ask us first

“Do we need a Chinese company?

No. You instruct us directly under a Power of Attorney signed in your own country. No subsidiary, no local address, no Chinese entity required. Your rights are identical to a domestic applicant’s, including enforcement in the IP courts.

“Will we be able to communicate?

Every attorney handling foreign work is bilingual in English and Mandarin. Our International Business Department exists for exactly this. You correspond in English and speak to the lawyer on your file, not a translator.

“Who is actually doing the work?

We are the Chinese firm. Nothing is passed to a subcontractor. You are billed by the people doing the work, with no intermediary margin between you and CNIPA.

“What if something goes wrong in China?

Our litigation agents appear before the Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hainan IP Courts, and we coordinate administrative enforcement and customs recordation. The same firm that files can enforce.

What we do

Full IP coverage, filing through to enforcement

Trademark Registration

Direct CNIPA filing with full sub-class strategy and Chinese-character name registration.

Patent Filing & Prosecution

Invention, utility and design patents. PCT national phase entry into 150+ countries.

Opposition & Invalidation

Challenging squatters and defending your own applications inside the CNIPA window.

Trademark Watch

Gazette monitoring with attorney-reviewed alerts carrying your opposition deadline.

Copyright

Registration and enforcement for software, designs and creative works.

IP & Legal Translation

Patent claims and legal documents, CN ↔ EN, translated in-house by attorneys.

IP litigation

When filing is not enough, we litigate

Many IP agencies file and stop there. If your rights are infringed you then have to find someone else to enforce them, and brief them from scratch. We handle IP litigation China matters ourselves, appearing before all four specialised IP courts, so the firm that secured the right is the firm that defends it.

Common questions

Working with a Chinese IP firm

Are you a Chinese law firm or an agency?

Both terms get used. Formally, Precise IP is a licensed China IP agency, registered as 广东普润知识产权代理有限公司 and holding CNIPA Patent Agency Code 44804. That licence permits us to file directly with China's IP administration on behalf of foreign applicants. Our patent attorneys and trademark attorneys are qualified in China, and our litigation agents appear before the specialised IP courts.

Do your lawyers speak English?

Yes. Every China IP attorney handling foreign client work is bilingual in English and Mandarin, and our International Business Department exists specifically to manage overseas clients. You correspond in English throughout, and you speak directly with the attorney on your file rather than through an account manager or a translator.

Do we need a Chinese company to instruct you?

No. Foreign applicants do not need a subsidiary, office or address in China. You instruct us directly under a Power of Attorney signed in your own country. Your rights are identical to those of a domestic Chinese applicant, including enforcement before the IP courts and recordation with Chinese customs.

Which countries can you file in?

We file directly in seven Asian jurisdictions from our own offices: China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, India, Vietnam and Malaysia. Beyond those we cover 60+ countries through the Madrid System for trademarks and 150+ through PCT national phase entry for patents.

How do you compare with a large international firm?

A global firm will usually route your Chinese filing to a local agent anyway, and bill their margin on top. We are that local agent, working for you directly. What you give up is a single invoice covering every continent. What you gain is Chinese attorneys handling Chinese matters daily, at Chinese rates, with nobody between you and CNIPA.

What does it cost to work with you?

Trademark registration in China is USD 66.38 per class, inclusive of the CNIPA official fee. Invention patent filing starts at USD 842. Litigation, opposition and invalidation work is quoted case by case. We confirm every fee in writing before starting.
