 Principle on Trade Mark Protection China adopts "first-to-file" for trademark protection, and the Trademark Law of China mainly protects the registered trademarks. If a registered trademark is used by someone else without authorization and/or license, the trademark owner can simply take an infringement action. For un-registered marks, if it has been applied for registration in bad-faith by someone else, the original mark owner can raise opposition against the bad-faith application, but without right to bring litigation. Further, if an un-registered well-known mark is used by someone else without authorization and/or license, and cause misleading, the original mark owner can raise court action under the Law Against Unfair Competition. Kinds of Registrable Trade Marks In China, the term “trademark?includes merely word mark, device mark, 3D mark, color per se mark, and their combination. In addition, there are special trademarks are enacted and protected, such as “certification mark?and “collective trademark? Required Information and Documents 1.
