1. How long is the validity period of a trademark after registration? There is a distinction between "registered trademarks" and "unregistered trademarks" in China. Registered trademarks are trademarks that are protected by law after being registered with relevant government departments. Unregistered trademarks are not protected by trademark laws. Registered trademarks have a period of use. According to the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law, the validity period of a registered trademark is ten years, calculated from the date of approval of registration. In addition, Article 40 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China also stipulates that if a registered trademark has expired and needs to be continued to be used, the trademark registrant shall go through the renewal procedures in accordance with the regulations within twelve months before the expiration; If the application cannot be processed during this period, a six-month grace period may be granted. Each renewal of registration is valid for ten years, starting from the day after the expiration of the previous term of validity of the trademark. If renewal procedures are not completed upon expiration, the registered trademark will be cancelled. 2. What to do if the trademark has expired 1. If the right holder does not take the initiative to apply for renewal upon expiration, the Trademark Office will make a decision to declare the registered trademark invalid. At this time, the right holder can apply for trademark review to recover. 2. One year after the date when the trademark is declared invalid, you can apply for registration of the same or similar trademark. However, please pay attention to the time when the trademark registration application is submitted. Applications submitted within one year will not be approved by the Trademark Office.
