Trademark cancellation, the company cancelled, is the trademark also cancelled?
Lawyer Ma Yingqiu answers: Hello, I'm glad to answer your question about trademark cancellation. According to the provisions of the Trademark Law, the period of validity of a registered trademark is ten years, counting from the date of approval. It can be renewed six months before the expiration of the validity period and the renewal fee can be paid. Each renewal is still valid for ten years. There is no limit to the number of renewals. If no application is made within this time limit, a 6-month extension period may be granted. If the renewal of registration is not filed within the grace period, the Trademark Office will cancel its registered trademark and make an announcement. If it is not used, it can also apply for cancellation, provided that it has been registered. So is the company cancelled and the trademark cancelled? If the trademark is not transferred before the cancellation of the enterprise, the ownership of the trademark shall be decided according to the resolution in the liquidation report when the enterprise is cancelled. If the ownership of the trademark right is not indicated in the liquidation report, all shareholders of the original company may deal with the property that was omitted when the company cancelled liquidation. If the registrant of a trademark dies or terminates, and one year expires from the date of death or termination, and the registered trademark has not gone through the transfer formalities, anyone may apply to the Trademark Office for cancellation of the registered trademark. Where an application for cancellation is filed, evidence concerning the death or termination of the trademark registrant shall be submitted. If your trademark is registered in the name of the company, after the company is cancelled. The trademark right will not exist, and anyone can use your trademark. If no one is using it now, you can re-register with your current company.
