If you or your company is not domiciled or established in Taiwan you must appoint a trademark agent (like MUSA) to register your trademark.

Since private people can register a trademark, if you are setting up a company in Taiwan, you can register the Taiwanese trademark now and later when the company is fully registered, transfer ownership to the new entity. That way your trademark is secure.
