What should I pay attention to when applying for a US trademark based on Chinese trademarks?

If you apply for a U.S. trademark based on Chinese trademarks, it means that it is easier to provide a "certificate of use" for listing. But please note:

To apply for U.S. federal trademark registration, the applicant must submit a trademark use statement to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The trademark use statement must include evidence of use of the trademark on the goods or services specified in the trademark registration application. Regarding evidence of use, the following situations are distinguished:

(1) Actual use method: The date and location of first use must be submitted when applying, as well as proof of actual use. No fees will be charged for authorization.

(2) Intentional use method: You only need to submit a statement of intention to use when applying, and submit proof of actual use when authorized. An additional fee of US$200 per category is required (renewable fee extension is US$500) /Class)

(3) Domestic basis method: If a trademark has been registered or applied for in the country, it can be submitted based on the domestic basis without submitting a proof of actual use or a statement of intention to use.
