Well, I really do not think searching yourself is a good idea. As far as I know, a lot of people in China cannot use the CTMO system well even if Chinese is their mother language, not to say a foreigner.
I am providing free consulting and searching for clients, so you may well refer to me.
Still, I know a lot of people really want to make some rough search of the trademark to understand a rough idea. I believe you should be able to do a rough search upon my guidance:
1. Do not use any system other than CTMO official one
If you search on Google, you will find some search system with the .com domain name, they are generally commercial pages, if it is a commercial page, you may get result with commercial purpose. Here is the official site of CTMO: https://sbj.cnipa.gov.cn
2. Steps to use CTMO system
to search
Click this one (Search Trademark) to search your trademark on the homepage of CTMO.
Click this one (I accept) to enter the next page.
And fill in the blankets with the
translations below:
3. How to read the results of
search
Take my trademark for example, click the blue number to enter the next page:
If there is a date at the place of red arrow, and the end date is later than the current date, the mark is valid.
If you see this sign on the information page,
the trademark is not valid.
