A: You have 30 days from the date you receive the CNIPA's notice of refusal to file a review. This deadline cannot be extended, so it is crucial to contact us as soon as possible to allow sufficient time for preparation.

A: The success rate depends on the specific grounds of refusal. For example, when the cited mark is vulnerable to non-use cancellation or invalidation, or your mark has acquired substantial market recognition, the chance of success is considerable. We give you a honest assessment at the evaluation stage — no exaggerated promises.

A: The key materials include the review application form, the original notice of refusal, evidence strongly proving prior use or reputation (such as sales figures, advertising, media coverage, if available), and a written argument addressing the grounds of refusal. We provide a detailed checklist and assist you throughout the preparation.

A: During the review period, your application remains in "pending substantive review" status, and your original priority filing date is preserved. No one else can register a similar mark in the same class, effectively locking in your rights date.

A: No. The review is specific to the rejected application and serves to protect its original priority date without impacting your other IP filings.

A: Yes. If you disagree with the TRAB's review decision, you may file an administrative lawsuit with the Beijing Intellectual Property Court. We can assist in evaluating the prospects of litigation and handle the case on your behalf, making sure every legitimate claim is pursued.

A: One hundred percent. Every refusal review case is handled directly by PUYIZHICHAN's in-house IP professionals — never outsourced to any third party — to ensure information security and quality control.

A: Our fees are quoted based on case complexity, the volume of evidence required, and other factors. After discussing your case and conducting a preliminary assessment, we provide a clear, transparent fee proposal with no hidden charges.
