Release Time:

2026-10-22

To protect the legitimate rights and interests of payers, our Office has issued multiple notices to remind relevant parties to apply for refunds. We plan to launch another centralized refund campaign. The notice is as follows:

I. Refunds Eligible after Online Payment Where Refund to the Original Payment Channel Failed (List in Annex 1)

In accordance with the Guidelines on Trademark Business Payment, where agencies, enterprises or individuals receive payment notices and complete trademark business payments as required, eligible refunds shall be returned to the original payment account. Where a refund fails due to special circumstances such as freezing or loss-reporting of the original payment account, the relevant party may apply for a refund.

Application Method: Log in to the Trademark Online Application System via China Trademark Website → Trademark Payment → Online Services. For trademark services marked “refund failed” under My Account - Payment Status Inquiry, submit a refund application on My Account - Refund Application Page. Fill in refund account information as required and upload supporting documents. Our Office will process the refund upon verification.

II. Unused Funds Remitted to the Trademark Office Account by the End of December 2019 (List in Annex 2)

Before 30 December 2019, agencies or trademark applicants could remit fees to the Trademark Office account by bank transfer before or upon filing trademark applications. Parties who remitted funds but did not file the corresponding application (or whose application was not accepted), resulting in unused remitted funds, may apply for refunds.

Application Method: Log in to the Trademark Online Application System via China Trademark Website → Trademark Payment → Online Services. Agency users shall apply for refunds on the My Account - Advance Payment Clearing Page. Trademark applicants and agencies eligible for refunds that cease agency business shall register an account in the unified identity authentication system of the National Intellectual Property Administration Public Service Platform, log into the Trademark Online Application System, and submit applications on the My Account - Refund Application Page. Fill in refund account information as required and upload supporting documents. Our Office will process the refund upon verification.

III. Document Requirements

  1. Proof of Subject Qualification. A copy of the business license shall be provided if the refund applicant is an agency or enterprise; a copy of the identity card shall be provided if the applicant is a natural person. Where the entity has changed its name, a name change certificate shall be submitted. Where the entity has been deregistered, liquidation reports or other documents proving the entitlement to the refund shall be submitted.
  2. Proof of Fund Transactions with the Trademark Office. Bank remittance slips made payable to the Trademark Office, financial ledgers and other transaction vouchers.
  3. Other Supporting Documents. Payment order numbers, trademark registration numbers noted at the time of remittance, etc.

Documents submitted by agencies and enterprises shall bear the official seal of the entity; documents submitted by individuals shall bear the applicant’s signature.
