Yes, if you don't register in time, once you are maliciously registered by others, you may have to bear legal responsibility. Logo as a work of art is generally protected for 50 years, while trademarks can be extended indefinitely, and the protection time is unlimited. Therefore, if you want to own the logo for a long time, you should register the logo. Although the protection period of a trademark is infinite, the trademark takes every 10 year as a cycle. If you want to hold it for a long time, you must continue to renew it. Trademark renewal can be entrusted to a regular trademark agency, the Trademark Office.
