Back to Cost of trademark registration

What is the price for 2 or more trademark classes in China?

The fee structure in China is based on the number of goods or services (items) within a class rather than the number of classes themselves. The exact cost will depend on the number of items you include in your trademark application within the chosen class.

For example, if you have two classes with one item each, the cost would be:

Class 1 (1 item): ¥300

Class 2 (1 item): ¥300

Total cost for two classes: ¥300 + ¥300 = ¥600 (approximately $94)

Note that the price for an additional trademark class is determined by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) and is subject to change.
