More business owners and self-employed people are paying attention to the importance of trademarks. For business owners with a strong awareness of brand protection, the first step is to register or purchase a trademark. So this article will talk to you about the problems in the use of trademarks, that is, the effective period of trademark use.

Many people do not understand the effectiveness of trademarks, which results in trademarks disappearing naturally. Owning a trademark is critical, and subsequent use of the trademark is also very critical.

According to the Trademark Law, a successfully registered trademark has a validity period. The validity period of a trademark is 10 years, starting from the date of approval of the trademark. If the trademark validity period is about to expire, if you still need the trademark, you should apply for trademark renewal within 6 months before expiration. If no application is made during this period, the Trademark Office will grant a 6-month extension period. In other words, after the trademark expires in 10 years, there is still a 6-month renewal period. If the renewal period expires, the trademark will be cancelled.

Trademarks have a validity period, and the issue of trademark renewal must not be ignored.
