From April 1, 2017, if you apply to the Trademark Office to cancel a registered trademark that has not been used for three years, the official fee is RMB 500.

This fee does not include agency fees. If you submit directly to the Trademark Office office, there is no agency fee.

However, if there is no agency to handle the withdrawal application, it is very likely that the follow-up documents will not be received. The Trademark Office will send the contact address filled in by the applicant by registered mail, and the time span may be one, two, or even three years.

The key point of the withdrawal application is the follow-up, which is the review process of the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board, the first instance of the Beijing Intellectual Property Court, and the second instance of the Beijing High Court.

Because the review in subsequent procedures will be more rigorous and closer to the truth.

When it comes to the second instance review by the Beijing High Court, the trademark will remain valid if it has genuine use. If the trademark does not have genuine commercial use, the trademark will eventually be invalid. No carelessness is allowed.
