Patentability Triage
Assess technical support, novelty risk, inventive contribution, claim breadth, and China examination sensitivity.
For Foreign Patent Firms
Improve Chinese patent grant probability before filing begins.
ShineRed IP supports overseas patent firms and innovators with China-side patentability screening, claim reconstruction, office action strategy, and portfolio layout. Led by former CNIPA patent examiner Ma Su, the team uses examiner-style reasoning to improve grant probability for technically supportable inventions entering China.
The problem
Many China national phase cases are treated as translation projects.
That misses the real risk. China examination depends on technical contribution, claim support, feature comparison, problem-solution reasoning, and how the invention is positioned against prior art. Weak entry strategy can create unnecessary office actions or narrow claims.
Our approach
We review like examiners and rebuild like strategists.
Before filing or major prosecution decisions, we identify the protectable technical contribution, test claim support, anticipate examiner objections, and build a portfolio path rather than a single isolated filing.
Process
A China-entry workflow for higher grant probability.
Claim Reconstruction
Rebuild claim hierarchy around the features most likely to survive examination while preserving commercial value.
Examiner Logic Map
Prepare response logic using feature comparison, technical problem abstraction, and likely prior-art combinations.
Portfolio Layout
Design continuation, divisional, defensive, and improvement filing options where appropriate for the business route.
Why contact us before filing?
Because China grant probability is shaped before the first office action.
Once a weak translation is filed, later amendments may be limited by the original disclosure and claim structure. We review the case before filing, locate the examiner's likely objections, and adjust the entry strategy while there is still room to protect commercial value.
Who we serve
Global innovators seeking stronger Chinese patent protection.
We support startups, universities, SMEs, medical-device teams, AI and hardware companies, manufacturers, technology transfer offices, and overseas patent firms that need a China partner who can explain both the law and the technology in practical English.
