Each platform has its own rules, and here’s an important one: RedNote does not accept e-signatures on Trademark Authorization Letters. Instead, they require an ink-signed document, with a photo of the signed version submitted for processing.
This might seem like a small issue, but missing this detail can slow things down—especially for brands based in the U.S. and other Western countries. The back-and-forth process, combined with the time difference and language barriers between the U.S. and China, can lead to frustrating delays. That means lost time, lost revenue from short-form videos, and missed brand awareness opportunities.
The good news? At least RedNote doesn’t require complex notarization like some other platforms. But for now, ink signatures are a must. Hopefully, they’ll move to e-signatures soon—but until then, knowing this in advance can save you headaches and keep your brand moving.
