Japanese trademarks and Chinese trademarks
Trademarks registered in Japan can be used in China. Although registered in Japan, the registered trademark does not hinder the right to use the trademark. However, trademarks registered in Japan are protected by Japanese laws and will not be protected by domestic laws. If you want domestic legal protection, you need to register in China. Generally speaking, a registered trademark can be used normally as long as it does not exceed the effective use period of the trademark itself. In any country, trademarks can be used as long as they have not expired.

How long can a Japanese registered trademark be used in China? The following answers can be used as general reference.

1. The validity period of the trademark 10 year.

Since Japanese registered trademarks can be used in China, what is the term of use? This is also a concern of many people. Many people will be very worried about the use period of trademarks, but there is no need to worry, because the law has long stipulated that as long as it is not illegal and used for normal commercial purposes, the use of trademarks is unrestricted during the validity period. Generally speaking, the validity period of trademark registration in Japan is 10 year, so as long as it is within the validity period, the trademark can be used completely.

Second, the trademark renewal period 10 years.

A trademark registered in Japan may be renewed if it has passed the validity period of 10 year. The renewal period is 10 year. An application for trademark renewal shall be filed six months before the expiration of the trademark.

How long a Japanese registered trademark can be used in China depends entirely on the validity of the registered trademark. As long as the trademark is still within the validity period of 10 or renewed within the validity period of 10, it will not affect the normal use of the trademark in China. Trademarks must be used for correct business purposes. If they violate the law, the trademark will be revoked, and naturally it can no longer be used, let alone the validity period.
