How to Submit a Trademark Application?

May 15, 2026

Regitup provides one-stop trademark registration services designed to simplify the application process and help users complete their trademark filings with ease.

Account Requirement

You must be logged in to your account before submitting an application.

If you do not yet have an account, the system will prompt you to register and log in during the application process.

You may also refer to the Create Account Guide for detailed instructions.

Accessing the Trademark Application Page

You can start an application through any of the following methods:

  • Click "Start Registration" after completing a trademark search

  • Click "Register TM" in the top-right corner of the homepage

  • Navigate through the menu: Services > Trademark Registration > Register Now

Understanding Application Structure

Regitup allows a single trademark application to cover multiple jurisdictions. However, the same classes must be selected for every jurisdiction within the same application. If you wish to add or remove trademark classes in certain jurisdictions, a separate application must be submitted.

Examples :

πŸ“Œ Trademark A: Hong Kong only ; Trademark B: Hong Kong and China

These are different trademark applications and must be submitted separately.

πŸ“Œ Trademark A: Class 9 and Class 35 in China ; Trademark A: Class 35 only in Hong Kong

Since the class selections differ, separate applications are required.

πŸ“Œ Trademark A: Class 9 and Class 35 in China ; Trademark A: Class 35 and Class 45 in Hong Kong

Although the trademark is the same, separate applications are required because the class combinations differ.

πŸ’‘ The China National Intellectual Property Administration examines logos, Chinese wording and English wording separately. To reduce the risk of one element affecting the entire application, it is generally advisable to file logos and word marks separately.

Step 1: Select a Plan

Choose the plan that best suits your needs.

Self-Service Registration : Ideal for applicants who are familiar with the trademark registration process and wish to manage the application independently.

Professional Registration : Includes support from a professional team to improve filing accuracy and reduce administrative burden.

Premium Registration : Provides comprehensive support and enhanced services for businesses that value brand strategy and long-term trademark protection.

If you would like to assess potential risks before filing, you may choose a consultation service first.

Basic Consultation : Suitable for applicants who are still evaluating trademark availability and risks.

Advanced Consultation : Provides comprehensive analysis and protection strategies for applicants seeking a more thorough brand protection plan.

πŸ’‘ If you submit a trademark application through Regitup within 90 days after the consultation, the consultation fee may be rebated toward your registration package.

If you are unsure which option to choose, please refer to the Plan Comparison Guide or How Are Trademark Fees Calculated?

Step 2: Select Region(s)

Choose the region(s) where you wish to register your trademark.
