What is a trademark freeze?

There are many reasons for trademark freezing. For example: the company owes some debts to other people. If it is unable to repay, the creditor can sue the court and request the freezing of its intangible assets. If the debtor is indeed incompetent, If the trademark is repaid, the court can publicly auction the trademark to the public and use the auction fees to repay the debt. A frozen trademark means that the trademark applicant cannot transfer, license, etc. the trademark. However, the trademark is still valid and others cannot Registration. To put it simply, it is blocked and not allowed to be used for the time being.
