Challenges in Brand Protection in China
A Rapidly Evolving Digital Market
China represents one of the largest and most dynamic digital markets globally. Popular social media platforms like WeChat, Weibo, and Douyin increase brand visibility but also heighten exposure to risks such as impersonation and counterfeiting.
The Issue of Cybersquatting
Cybersquatting—registering domain names similar to established trademarks to profit from their reputation—is prevalent in China. Companies must remain vigilant to prevent their digital identity from being compromised.
Trademark Trolls
“Trademark trolls” are individuals or entities registering trademarks without intending to use them, aiming to resell them to legitimate businesses at inflated prices. This issue is particularly concerning in China, where the “first-to-file” system can facilitate these practices.
