The following is advice from a US attorney, in the field of US Trademark law, who has helped Chinese companies get registered US Trademarks. This is a short list of the main things to do to file a U.S. Trademark application to obtain a U.S. Trademark.

• You must have a U.S. Attorney licensed in the U.S., as of August 3, 2019. If you need assistance with this, please inquire using the contact information below.
• Ask your U.S. Attorney to perform a search of the existing trademarks, to see if there are any conflicting trademarks. An informal search is done online, at little or no cost. A formal search can be better, but will cost more.
• Provide a specimen of use, such as a label showing the trademark, or a page on a web site showing ordering information along with the trademark.
• Explain the goods and services being offered using the trademark. This can be important, and it is best to list a general term followed by specific terms. An example is: aircraft, specifically remotely operated toy drones.

There may be other things involved, and your may have specific questions, which your U.S. Trademark attorney can help with.
