What are the procedures for providing evidence of use for trademark revocation?

Article 48 of my country’s current Trademark Law stipulates: “The use of trademarks as referred to in this Law refers to the use of trademarks on commodities, commodity packaging or containers, and commodity transaction documents, or the use of trademarks on "Use" is the core of the "withdrawal of three" clauses in advertising, exhibitions and other commercial activities. The procedures for providing evidence of use for trademark withdrawal include:

1. It is an advertising material that contains the complete trademark and can be linked to the specific product. For example, advertising samples in newspapers, magazines, TV, and radio that can confirm the time, advertising contracts with trademarks signed with advertising companies, radio stations, TV stations, and other media or invoices issued by them, stores, light boxes, and outdoor advertisements that can confirm the time. Photos, contracts signed with trademark printing companies indicating the trademark or invoices issued, etc.

2. It is a trademark license contract registered with the Trademark Office.

3. It is a service place, service sign, service tool, service supplies, and business transaction document that includes complete trademarks and usage times. When collecting evidence, attention should be paid to the consistency of the trademark reflected in the evidence with the registered trademark, as well as the time of formation of the evidence and other issues. To ensure the validity of the "use" evidence, to the greatest extent possible, the trademark will not be "withdrawn".

4. "Justifiable reasons" for not using the trademark for three years.

Force majeure, force majeure is an unforeseeable and unavoidable situation, generally referring to natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons.

Government policy restrictions. Due to policy restrictions, the production and sale of some specific goods cannot be carried out or cannot be approved. The non-use of trademarks is also a legitimate reason.

In bankruptcy liquidation, after an enterprise enters the bankruptcy liquidation process, it can no longer carry out production and operations because it cannot be used normally.

Intellectual property rights.
