Step one: Applicant submits application. The applicant submits an "Application for Cancellation of Suspension of Use of a Registered Trademark for Three Consecutive Three Years" to the Trademark Office, and explains in writing the "non-use" of the trademark.

Step 2: After the Trademark Office accepts the application for cancellation of three-year non-use, it will issue the "Notice on Providing Evidence of Use of the Registered Trademark" to the registrant, requiring the registrant to start from the date of receipt of this notice. Submit evidence of actual use of the registered trademark within 2 months.

Step 3: The registrant submits evidence of actual use of its registered trademark on schedule. After receiving the evidence materials, the Trademark Office will conduct evidence review and fact determination. If the review determines that the evidence can prove that the registered trademark has been actually used within the specified three-year period, a "decision letter that the trademark registration continues to be valid" will be issued. Otherwise, a "decision letter that cancels the trademark registration" will be issued.

Step 4: If the registrant and the applicant for cancellation are not satisfied with the cancellation or maintenance decision made by the Trademark Office, they can submit a "cancellation review application" to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board.

Trademark withdrawal is a direct means to combat the malicious possession of trademark resources by others. It can also help clear obstacles to your own trademark registration and avoid wasting trademark resources.
