What conditions do I need to meet when applying for trademark cancellation?
1. What are the requirements for applying after the cancellation of a trademark? 1, the applicant for a registered trademark to "cancel the three-year non-use application", need to submit fees to the state. Foreign enterprises or individuals need to entrust a trademark agency in China. The applicant needs to submit an Application for Revoking the Discontinuation of the Use of a Registered Trademark for Three Years in a row, and explain in writing the "non-use" of this trademark. 2. Distribution of burden of proof: "The burden of proof that a registered trademark has not ceased to be used for three consecutive years shall be borne by the trademark registrant". Article 49 of the Trademark Law stipulates that any unit or individual may apply to the Trademark Office for cancellation of a registered trademark if it becomes the common name of the goods it has approved for use or if it has not been used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons. 3. The 3-year period for which the evidence should be given: 3 years back from the date when the applicant who has not used it for 3 years (hereinafter referred to as "the applicant for withdrawing 3") submitted the application for withdrawing 3. For example, on August 21, 212, an applicant for revocation of three-year non-use submitted an application, and the three-year period during which the Trademark Office required the registrant to provide evidence of actual use was from August 21, 29 to August 2, 212. Second, other information 1. A registered trademark can only be revoked after it has been registered for more than 3 years. What needs special explanation is that if a registered trademark has encountered objection or objection review before it is registered, the "full three years" when it can be revoked shall be counted from the date when the objection ruling or objection review ruling takes effect. 2. The application for "cancellation of three-year non-use" can be used for all the goods of this registered trademark, or for one or more of the goods of this trademark. If "three-year non-use" is aimed at one or more items of a registered trademark, then the evidence of actual use given by the registrant must be aimed at the item or items, and the evidence of other items is invalid. The cancellation of trademark registration means that the application for trademark registration is revoked. Under normal circumstances, if the registered trademark is found to have been registered or registered by other companies, the application for trademark registration can only be revoked first, and then other matters such as adding a trademark or canceling the application can be carried out. It should be noted that the revocation of a trademark should be determined within the scope prescribed by law.
