People often say; Trademark withdrawal three; What is it?

"Trademark Revocation III" is a kind of abbreviation, which is a trademark that has not been used for three consecutive years (counting from the date of registration) according to the provisions of Article 44 of China's Trademark Law. If it exceeds this time limit, the Trademark Office may order it to correct or cancel its registered trademark within a time limit, which is also known as "Trademark Revocation III".

Therefore, it is best to use a registered trademark continuously. If it has not been used for more than three years, anyone can apply to the Trademark Office to cancel its registered trademark.

the use of trademarks mentioned above includes, but is not limited to, the use of trademarks on commodities themselves, their packaging or containers, and commodity trading documents, or for advertising, exhibitions and other business activities. It can be considered that the use of trademarks should be of commercial significance. The publication of unilateral trademark registration information and the right statement made by the registrant on the registered trademark are not regarded as the use of trademarks in the sense of the Trademark Law.

The above-mentioned review of "revocation of a trademark" means that it is calculated three years from the date when the Trademark Office receives its application for revocation, and if no evidence of the use of the trademark within three years is provided within two months, or a legitimate reason for not using it is provided. If the use evidence is not provided within the time limit or the evidence is invalid, the Trademark Office has the right to directly revoke its registered trademark.

if there is any objection to the revocation decision of the trademark office, the party concerned may file a review with the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board within 15 days from the date of receiving the notice of the decision. If the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board decides to uphold the revocation decision of the Trademark Office after trial, the party concerned may bring a suit in the Beijing Intermediate People's Court within 3 days from the date of receiving the decision.
