Many people run their own businesses and have their own products. In order to protect their product rights and interests from infringement, they are going to register a trademark. There are many kinds of trademarks, including word mark, graphic trademarks, sound trademarks and three-dimensional trademarks. Trademark means that the trademark product can be used by itself after application, and the state will protect the exclusive right of its goods and trademarks. But many people or companies think that they can use it all the time if they apply for a trademark. In fact, this statement is wrong, because trademarks also have a time limit, which is generally 10 year. If you want to continue to use the trademark after its expiration, you need to renew it. If the trademark is not renewed, the subsequent trademark will be applied by others, so the trademark belongs to others. Under normal circumstances, the trademark tax is about 1000~3000 yuan, which will vary more or less according to the information.

1. What is a trademark application?

To put it bluntly, applying for a trademark is applying for a trademark. An application for a trademark can be made in the name of an individual, a company or a legal person to obtain the exclusive right to use a trademark for one's own production, processing and manufacturing or company products. In the process of applying for a trademark, you have to submit your own application requirements to the State Trademark Office, and only after examination, substantive examination and data examination can you issue a special certificate for trademark registration.

Second, how to renew the trademark after it expires?

The protection period of general trademarks is 10 year. When the protection period is about to expire, it shall continue to register. The application documents for trademark renewal and payment can be collected at the service hall or handled by an agency. According to China's legal basis, when the validity period expires, the renewal procedures must be completed within 12 months before the expiration of the validity period, and a grace period of 6 months can be granted if the renewal procedures are not successfully completed within this time period.

3. How much does it usually cost to renew a trademark?

If you handle it yourself, the double trademark renewal fee generally only needs 1000 yuan to 3000 yuan. If you are looking for an agent, you need to issue an agency fee in addition to the normal fee.

As can be seen from the above points, the trademark should be renewed after its expiration. During the renewal period, if you handle it yourself, it will probably cost 1000 yuan to 3000 yuan. If it is an agent, it is necessary to increase the agency fee on the corresponding fixed fee.
