The term “Trademark” refers to trade mark, service mark, collective mark, and certification mark. A trademark can be composed of anything from numbers, Latin letters, Chinese characters, devices, 3-D objects, and color combinations.

The basic principle is that only registered trademarks can enjoy exclusive rights in the Mainland. The valid period of a trademark registration is 10 years, renewable at the end.
