The Zhengzhou trademark examination cooperation center, the fifth of its kind in China, was recently approved. The center covers more than 10,000 square meters and is expected to receive 1.5 million trademark applications a year. When it is completed, companies based in Henan and six nearby provinces can go to the new center instead of Beijing to apply for trademarks, and the examination period will be reduced from nine months to six months.
