In the business process, the company's products have names and are registered when they are established. This has the same effect as the company's registered name. However, trademarks have a certain timeliness. If you want to continue to use them when they are about to expire, you need to renew them. 1.

The meaning of the trademark renewal right The renewal right refers to the right of the trademark owner to apply for renewal of registration according to law before the expiration of the validity period of the registered trademark, thereby extending the protection period of the registered trademark. The validity period of a registered trademark is 10 years, calculated from the date of approval of registration. If a registered trademark expires and needs to be continued to be used, it should apply for renewal of registration within 12 months before expiration; if the application is not submitted during this period, a 6-month extension period can be given. Each renewal of registration is valid for 10 years, starting from the day after the expiration of the previous term of validity of the trademark. If an application has not been made before the extension period expires, the registered trademark will be cancelled. 3. What to do if the trademark renewal application is rejected. After the trademark registration renewal application is reviewed and approved by the Trademark Office, the original Trademark Registration Certificate will be annotated, returned, and announced. However, if there are circumstances in which trademark law stipulates that renewal should not be granted, the Trademark Office will make a decision to reject it. If the applicant is dissatisfied with the Trademark Office's rejection of the application for renewal registration, the applicant may, within fifteen days from the date of receipt of the rejection notice, send an "Application for Reexamination of Rejection of Renewal" to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board to apply for review, and at the same time attach the original "Trademark Application for Registration Renewal" and rejection notice, and pay the review fee. The Trademark Review and Adjudication Board makes a final decision and notifies the applicant in writing. If the final decision is to approve the renewal of registration, it will be transferred to the Trademark Office for renewal procedures.
