There is a compulsory agency system for foreigners to apply for patents in my country. Is there any difference between Chinese and foreign companies as to whether they need to entrust an agency to apply for registered trademarks in my country?

Foreign individuals who have a habitual residence in China (residing for more than one year) can apply to the Beijing Trademark Office themselves or entrust an agency to apply. If not, they can only entrust an agency to apply; foreign enterprises in China Even if you don’t have a business place, you must entrust an agency to handle it.

For Chinese natural persons and enterprises, a voluntary principle is adopted. You can entrust an agency or apply by yourself.
