What is the standard for determining the revocation of evidence after three years of trademark use?
Legal subjectivity:

The evidence provided by the trademark registrant shall be true, valid and legal. Note: As it has been discontinued for three consecutive years, the registrant needs to prove that it has been continuously used for nearly three years when submitting evidence. The previous evidence is invalid, and even if it is submitted, the State Trademark Office will not accept it. In view of the application for cancellation of a registered trademark for three consecutive years, it is suggested that the trademark registrant should entrust a professional trademark agency to collect and submit valid evidence within a time limit after receiving the notice of proof from the State Trademark Office. Generally speaking, the evidence of trademark use focuses on: (1) the use of trademarks on commodities, commodity packaging, containers and related transaction documents (such as signs, product descriptions, manuals, sales agreements, bills, etc.). ); (2) Evidence forms of using service marks include (decoration of service places, menus, posters, price lists, documents, service agreements, etc.). ); (3) The forms of evidence for the use of advertisements include advertisements, exhibition materials, photos, and approval documents from the competent authorities in the media such as radio, television, magazines, newspapers and billboards.

Legal objectivity:

Article 41 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) where a registered trademark needs to change the name, address or other registered items of the registrant, an application for change shall be filed. Article 24 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) where the logo of a registered trademark needs to be changed, a new application for registration shall be made. Article 49 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * If a trademark registrant changes the registered trademark, the name, address or other registered items of the registrant during the use of the registered trademark, the local administrative department for industry and commerce shall order it to make corrections within a time limit; If it fails to make corrections within the time limit, its registered trademark shall be revoked by the Trademark Office. Any unit or individual may apply to the Trademark Office for the cancellation of a registered trademark if it becomes the common name of a commodity approved for use or if it is not used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons. The Trademark Office shall make a decision within nine months from the date of receiving the application. There are special circumstances that need to be extended, which can be extended for three months with the approval of the administrative department for industry and commerce of the State Council.
