Client Challenge

GreenCell Robotics, a California-based startup developing advanced robotic sensor technology, was unsure how to protect their innovations in China while maintaining their competitive advantage. They needed fast, reliable patent protection but were concerned about the complexity and timeline of the Chinese patent system.

Our Solution

We guided GreenCell through the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) route, leveraging their existing US patent applications to accelerate the Chinese examination process. Our team:

• Conducted comprehensive prior art analysis for the Chinese market
• Prepared technical translations with precision engineering terminology
• Filed patent applications through the PPH fast-track program
• Managed examiner communications and office action responses
• Provided real-time updates through our systemized platform

Results Achieved

• 6 months - First CN patent granted (vs. typical 18-24 months)
• 100% approval rate - All patent claims approved without major amendments
• Cost savings - 30% reduction in total costs vs. traditional filing
• Platform transparency - Client tracked progress in real-time

Client Testimonial

“We came to China IP Gateway unsure how to protect our robotic sensor patents in China. Peter and his team guided us through the PPH route, and our first CN patent was granted in 6 months — faster than we expected. Their backend system made tracking every step simple and transparent.” - Alex Johnson, Founder
