The system of trademark law in mainland China is administered by the China National Intellectual Property Administration CNIPA (with an appeal function administered by the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board and the courts). Both are divisions of the State Administration for Industry & Commerce (SAIC).




History


China first established its Trademark Law in 1982.: 19 
The two principal pieces of legislation forming the trademark system are the Trademark Law, and the Unfair Competition Law.
Only registered trade and service marks are protected in the PRC: there is no common law protection for unregistered trademarks (except for "well-known" marks, as detailed below).
In 2000, China amended the Trademark Law to ensure compliance with its obligations with the TRIPS Agreement.: 20 




Trademark registration


China uses a first-to-file trademark registration system.: 230  Trademark registrants do not need to demonstrate their prior use of a trademark.: 230
