What issues should you pay attention to after the trademark transfer is successful?

There are three points that you need to pay attention to after trademark registration:

1. Trademark renewal

Trademarks actually have a period of use. The "Trademark Law" stipulates that in our country The validity period of a registered trademark is 10 years from the date of approval of registration. Once the validity period has expired, the registered trademark will lose its trademark rights. Therefore, we must pay attention to renewing the trademark in a timely manner before the trademark expires. Trademark registrants should go to the Trademark Office to go through the renewal procedures within twelve months before expiration; if they fail to do so during this period, a six-month extension period can be given. There is no limit to the number of renewals, and the validity period of each renewal registration is also 10 years.

2. Principle of trademark withdrawal for three consecutive years

"Trademark withdrawal for three years" refers to the situation where a registered trademark is revoked without legitimate reasons for not being used for three consecutive years. Any unit or individual can submit a cancellation application to the Trademark Office, and the Trademark Office will revoke the trademark right after confirming that the situation is true. Because trademarks are a limited resource, in order to save trademark resources and prevent trademarks from being idle and unused, the Trademark Office has the provision of "trademark withdrawal for three years". As long as you explain the reasons to the Trademark Office in advance or use it occasionally, you can avoid the cancellation of your trademark rights.

3. Timely filing of trademark changes

If the trademark registrant must change the trademark registration information due to some objective factors, the registrant needs to apply to the Trademark Office for filing in a timely manner to change the registration information. If the filing is not carried out in a timely manner, once the Trademark Office sends out a relevant letter later, the registrant will miss the best opportunity to respond if it does not receive it. In this case, the Trademark Office will deprive the exclusive right to use the trademark.
