In the substantive examination, the trademark will not be affected because your enterprise changes or does not exist. But if the Trademark Office has any questions, it will be mailed to the address you applied for. If it is not accepted in time, it shall be deemed as an automatic waiver of the trademark.

So you have to make sure the application address is still there first? Whether you can accept letters. If not, you need to submit an application for change of trademark address immediately.

In addition, if the application is made in the name of an individual, it can be used after the trademark registration is issued. However, if you apply in the name of individual industrial and commercial households, you need to transfer the trademark from the name of individual industrial and commercial households to the name of individuals. Otherwise, the self-employed will cease to exist and the trademark will be revoked within 3 years.
