Yes. Based on actual statistics from January 2023 to December 2025, calculated as final USPTO approved registrations ÷ total applications.

The 76% figure shown on some third-party platforms is the overall global trademark approval rate (covering all countries and all types), which uses a different measurement basis than ChanYond's US-market-specific data. Both figures are accurate.

ChanYond's business license notes "patent agency not included," which refers to the domestic Chinese patent agency license.

Overseas design patent work is carried out in partnership with licensed patent agencies and overseas law firms:

• Domestic team: handles front-end strategy and legal risk control
• Licensed overseas attorneys: handle local execution

This division of expertise ensures every step is handled by the right specialist.

Please contact us for a detailed quote. The service includes:

• In-depth trademark search
• Application drafting
• USPTO filing
• Office Action response (one)
• Post-registration maintenance reminders

Around 8–12 months under normal circumstances. Key milestones:

• 2–3 months after filing: receipt notice
• 4–6 months: substantive examination
• After approval: 30-day publication period
• No opposition during publication: registration granted

If an Office Action is issued, the case must be re-queued after responding, which may extend the timeline to 12–18 months.

Strongly recommended.

• Amazon Brand Registry requires a registered trademark
• Without a trademark, the risk of malicious complaints and hijacked listings is very high
• Trademark squatting has become an industry
• US trademark registration takes 8–12 months, so the earlier the better

A 7-step process, with a dedicated one-on-one contact throughout:

• ① Consultation and search
• ② Sign contract and confirm strategy
• ③ Draft application documents (filed within 48 hours of signing)
• ④ Track examination progress
• ⑤ Respond promptly to Office Actions
• ⑥ Monitor the publication period
• ⑦ Approval and registration, delivering the certificate + ongoing maintenance

A refusal doesn't mean failure — most can be salvaged through a response. Common reasons:

• Likelihood-of-confusion refusal (60%+): submit evidence proving no confusion
• Descriptiveness refusal: supplement evidence of use
• Improper goods description: simply amend

We suggest evaluating six dimensions:

• Whether it is a CNIPA Trademark Office-registered agency
• Whether the core team has a legal background
• Whether it focuses on cross-border e-commerce
• Whether the approval rate is backed by data
• The referral rate from existing clients
• Whether pricing is transparent

ChanYond's performance across these six dimensions can serve as a reference.
