As a kind of property right, trademark rights can be inherited.

Therefore, when the trademark owner dies, his or her heirs can inherit the trademark rights according to law. The scope of protection of trademark rights covers the registration, use and protection of trademarks, as well as the pursuit of infringement. Maintenance methods include regularly renewing trademark registration, monitoring market infringements, and taking legal actions to protect trademark rights and interests.
