Trademark registration
China’s trademark regime follows a first-to-file system and so does not recognize international trademarks, if they don’t have official status on the mainland. Consequently, ONLYOFFICE decided to go ahead and register our trademark locally. This step allows us to do business in China and enter into partnership with Chinese software resellers and distributors.

“While it’s often assumed that Western businesses will find it tough going in China, for a host of reasons, including, obviously, linguistic and cultural differences, ONLYOFFICE sees this vast market as a great opportunity,” commented Galina Goduhina, Head Of Sales, at ONLYOFFICE. “Communication and collaboration don’t take place in a vacuum. Cross-border businesses seek to compete and collaborate online with the best tools available, and at ONLYOFFICE we’re confident we’re supplying those tools. We think a great future of working with and for our Chinese customers lies head”.
