专题指南GUIDE
在中国代工或采购，如何保护你的知识产权Manufacturing in China? How to Protect Your IP
许多品牌方在把设计、模具或商标交给中国工厂后，才发现被擅自使用、仿冒或流入市场。合同与注册的双层保护必不可少。Many brands hand designs, tooling or trademarks to a Chinese factory, then find them copied, leaked or resold. Layered protection — contract plus registration — is essential.
我们的服务HOW WE HELP
我们如何帮您搭建 IP 防护How we help you build IP protection
我们协助你在合同层面锁定权属与保密义务，并在中国进行商标、专利、版权的及时注册，让权利有可执行的基础。We lock down ownership and confidentiality in contract, and secure timely China registration of trademarks, patents and copyrights so rights are enforceable.
若已发生侵权，我们可协助发函、行政投诉（如市场监管局）或诉讼，并评估跨境维权路径。If infringement already occurred, we assist with demand letters, administrative complaints (e.g. market regulators) or litigation, and cross-border options.
关键要点KEY POINTS
您需要重点关注的环节What deserves your attention
保密与竞业Confidentiality
设置保密条款、违约赔偿与审计权，约束工厂及其员工对外披露。Confidentiality, breach penalties and audit rights to stop the factory and its staff from disclosing.
中国注册China registration
商标、外观设计与专利应尽早在中国注册——“先申请”原则下，未注册者难主张权利。Register trademarks, designs and patents in China early — under 'first-to-file', the unregistered struggle to claim rights.
供应链管控Supply-chain control
对关键料件、二级供应商设约束，降低通过供应链外泄或贴牌仿冒的风险。Bind critical parts and sub-suppliers to cut leakage and OEM counterfeiting through the chain.
侵权应对Enforcement
发现侵权可发律师函、行政投诉或起诉，并可追查跨境销售链条。On infringement: demand letter, administrative complaint or suit, and trace the cross-border sales chain.
常见问题FAQ
客户常问的问题Frequently asked questions
只在美国注册了商标，在中国受保护吗？Is my US trademark protected in China?
不直接。中国实行“先申请”原则，需单独在中国注册才能在境内主张商标权。Not directly. China follows 'first-to-file'; you must register separately in China to assert trademark rights there.
代工方用我的设计接私单怎么办？What if the OEM uses my design for side orders?
若有明确权属与保密条款，可发函、投诉或起诉；注册外观/专利会显著增强你的立场。With clear ownership and confidentiality clauses you can demand, complain or sue; registered designs/patents strongly strengthen your position.
模具该谁出钱、归谁所有？Who pays for and owns the tooling?
应事先约定：通常由买方出资并保有所有权，工厂仅有生产使用权，防止被转卖或抵押。Agree upfront: the buyer usually funds and owns the tooling; the factory only has a production licence, preventing resale or pledge.
发现仿冒品在卖，第一步做什么？I found counterfeits for sale — first step?
先固定证据（购买公证、网页存证），再视情况发律师函或向平台/监管部门投诉。First preserve evidence (notarised purchase, web archives), then a demand letter or complaint to the platform/regulator as fit.
在中国做 IP 保护要花多少钱？How much does IP protection in China cost?
商标注册与合同审查多为固定费用，侵权应对按阶段计费；可先就风险点做一次低价评估。Trademark filing and contract review are mostly fixed fees; infringement response is billed by stage — a low-cost risk assessment can come first.
代工前要不要签保密协议？Should I sign an NDA before OEM production?
要。保密协议加权属与有限许可条款，是防止工厂泄露或擅用设计的第一道防线。Yes. An NDA plus ownership and limited-licence clauses is the first line of defence against the factory leaking or misusing your design.
商标在中国被抢注了怎么办？What if my trademark is squatted in China?
可基于在先使用、恶意注册等理由提异议或无效宣告，并尽快自行补注册；评估后选最务实路径。You may oppose or invalidate it based on prior use or bad faith, and file your own registration promptly; pick the most pragmatic route after assessment.
