Trademark freezing is a relatively uncommon phenomenon. This means that a civil subject who has a creditor's relationship with the trademark registrant makes a request and provides a guarantee, and the People's Court issues a notice of assistance to freeze the ownership of the trademark registrant's trademark. If you don’t understand, you can think about property freezing. The two have similar meanings. For example, a company pledges its trademark to a bank in exchange for funds. The relationship between banks and enterprises is a creditor's rights relationship. Banks have the right to request the court to freeze trademarks. If the court allows it, the debtor will no longer be able to exercise its trademark rights within the specified time. Until the court makes other decisions, companies cannot exercise their trademark rights normally. While a trademark is frozen, trademark licensing rights will also be restricted. The trademark owner can no longer sign a trademark license contract with others, and can no longer authorize others to use the frozen trademark. Even if it is signed, it is a contract with no legal effect and will not be ignored by the Trademark Office. It is worth mentioning that the freezing period of registered trademark rights will not exceed 6 months. Therefore, if a trademark is unfortunately frozen by the court, according to regulations, non-use due to uncontrollable legal reasons will not lead to the cancellation of the registered trademark. In addition to being frozen, trademarks will also be terminated due to improper use: (1) A registered trademark is valid for 10 years. If the trademark is not renewed at the end of the period, the trademark rights will be terminated due to expiration. (2) If the trademark owner fails to transfer the trademark before his death or termination, the trademark right will die together with the owner. (3) If a trademark registrant violates the provisions of the Trademark Law on the use of registered trademarks, the trademark rights will also be terminated!
