The role of the CNIPA is to grant patents for the protection of inventions and to register trademarks for products and services.
A utility model patent protects how an invention works, including shape, structure, or combination. A design patent protects how a product looks, including shape, pattern, color, or combination. If both the design and the function are unique, and the design doesn’t affect the function, you can apply for the utility model patent and a design patent together.
After being granted the patent right, the patent owner shall pay the patent fee to the Government every year during the patent term. If the owner doesn’t pay the Government fee on time, it shall be deemed as abandoning the patent.

I am very pleased to have chosen GWBMA, and they file my GUI with CNIPA. It started with a brief conversation with Mr. Mao. He advised me on how best to proceed, I paid the fee, and my paperwork was ready to go within just a few days. He was very thorough and communicative throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!
