Brand Protection
IP registration, factory NDA architecture, and counterfeit monitoring to protect your brand in Chinese manufacturing markets.
How It Works
01
China IP Registration
Trademark and design patent registration with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) — the most effective defence against counterfeiting and factory IP leakage.
02
Factory Confidentiality Architecture
NDA and design ownership agreements structured under Chinese law — specifying that tooling, moulds, and product designs remain the exclusive property of your brand.
03
Supply Chain Compartmentalisation
Supplier network design that prevents any single factory from possessing complete product knowledge — reducing the risk of replica production.
04
Counterfeit Monitoring
Ongoing monitoring of Chinese e-commerce platforms and trade directories for unauthorised replicas — with takedown coordination when infringement is identified.
Our Approach
Your IP is most vulnerable the moment you share a product brief with a factory you have never worked with before.
Brand protection in China begins with registration — not with trust. We structure every new factory relationship with the legal documentation that makes enforcement possible, because factory relationships that feel secure today are not the ones that matter when they go wrong.
China IP registration is the single most underutilised protection available to international brands manufacturing in China. We make it a standard part of every new product engagement.
