We understand the importance of securing intellectual property (IP) protection for your creations. Intellectual property (IP) protection is a subject of concern for app and game developers seeking to enter China. In March 2016, the Chinese government introduced a new policy on the digital IP registration process. This registration is mandatory for new entrants into China, assuring you that China is committed to the protection and upholding of your IP rights.
We offer a one-stop approach to IP registration and protection. Our services include the preparation of documents, registration and application with the IP protection authorities in China, and the monitoring of your application until the approval and release of your IP certificate.
IMPORTANT: IP Protection Registration is subject to approval by the Authorities. We will provide feedback on approval status and we will not be liable, should there be any rejection and/or opposition from the Authorities.
APPTUTTi is based out of Hong Kong and all contractual agreements are bind(ed) under Hong Kong Law. App developers do not have to share the source codes of their apps with APPTUTTi or any other entities. SDK(s), API(s) and Plug-in(s) will be provided for registered partners to do integration on their own.
Please follow the steps below for IP registration:
In China, only the local Chinese entity is able to register for IP rights. We use our local Chinese entity to register on behalf of our partners.
Only one registration is required for an app to cover all mobile operating systems.
