Trademark revocation refers to the procedure that the State Trademark Office or the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board makes a decision or ruling on acts that violate the Trademark Law and relevant provisions, so as to eliminate the exclusive right to use the original registered trademark. According to the provisions of Articles 41, 44 and 45 of China's Trademark Law, the Trademark Office or the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board may rule or order the cancellation of a registered trademark for legal reasons.
