Is the trademark under the company’s name still valid after cancellation?

The trademark in the company’s name is still valid after it has been canceled. However, the trademark will only remain valid if the trademark has been transferred before the company is cancelled. If the company fails to handle the transfer, after the company is deregistered and the trademark registrant disappears, the Trademark Office will cancel its registered trademark.
