It depends on your specific situation. If your trademark has not expired for half a year, you can pay the fee to keep it yours! If half a year has passed, you have to reapply!
If you reapply, you have to see if anyone is faster than you! Let me give you an example, V
. It's like when you go to KTV to sing in the box No.8, the box fee is 2 yuan. The time for you to sing in the box is ten years. When the ten years expire, you have to renew it. Otherwise, when the ten years expire, you sing too HI and forget to renew it. At this time, you ask your boss to say that you want to continue to pack this box. If you are lucky, no one may rob you of the box No.8. You can continue to sing in the box No.8 as long as you pay the money. If someone is waiting in line Box 8 belongs to someone else! My metaphor may not be appropriate, but I hope you can understand this meaning!
