The CNIPA announced recently that paper certificates of trademark registration will no longer be issued from 1 January 2022. For trademark applications submitted via paper filing, the CNIPA will issue a Notice with a URL and QR code where the applicant can download the electronic trademark registration certificate. For the application filed via the e-filing system, the registration certificate can be viewed and downloaded from the CNIPA's online service system. There will be a transitional period from 15 October to 31 December 2021 where the CNIPA will issue both paper certificate and electronic certificate for trademark registration.
