Conclusion
How do you check the patents and trademarks of industrial consumables suppliers? In short: use the National Intellectual Property Public Service Platform (ggfw.cnipa.gov.cn) for functions such as patent gazettes and searches (publication announcements, examination status, and Chinese/multinational patent information), trademark gazettes and searches (announcements, decisions, registration certificates, and EU trademark searches), integrated circuit layout design gazettes, and geographical indication searches. Also, use the China Trademark Network (sbj.cnipa.gov.cn) for integrated trademark services (online applications, status tracking, and electronic delivery) and popular search functions (online search, gazettes, and registration certificate publication), as well as open trademark data searches and downloads. Additionally, refer to Douyin for lists of common trademark search websites, such as the USPTO (uspto.gov/trademarks), EUIPO (euipo.europa.eu/eSearch), and Designview (ppdn.org/tmdsview-web).
Regarding overseas B2B strategies: verify standards, tiers, platforms, and qualifications—and avoid the mistake of focusing solely on MOQ without considering the 24/48/72-hour service windows or technical specifications—to ensure you fully understand the supplier’s patent and trademark status and make the right selection.
