Alt Legal WebinarChina the Times: How China's 2025 Draft Amendment to Trademark Law Will Affect Your Clients
Alt Legal Team | June 29, 2026
For years, China has struggled with a flood of bad-faith trademark filings. Regulators are working hard to shed this image with changes to existing trademark laws.
In this webinar, on Thursday, September 17 at 11:00am (ET), Spring Chang of Chang Tsi & Partners will walk you through China’s 2025 Draft Amendments to Trademark Law, explaining what’s changing and how these updates will affect filing, enforcement, and portfolio management. She will focus on the practical implications of these reforms for firms and companies navigating China’s evolving trademark landscape. In particular, she’ll explain how the Draft Amendments:
- Update definitions to include “dynamic signs” and stricter non-functionality requirements
- Set higher registration standards, including a genuine intent to use
- Streamline procedures to shorten opposition periods and improve examination efficiency
- Expand protection for well-known trademarks
- Enhance enforcement options to combat bad-faith filings and improper trademark use
