How can I cancel the trademark if I stop using it for three consecutive years?
1. The applicant who proposes to cancel a trademark that has not been used for three years wants to have the exclusive right to use a trademark, but someone else has registered it for use. The applicant first proposes to transfer the registered trademark to the other party, but refuses to give up the name of the registered trademark if the agreement fails, so he comes up with this measure to cancel the exclusive trademark of the trademark registrant and applies to the Trademark Office for cancellation. In fact, the registrant has been using its trademark, and the applicant has no other choice but to take a chance by writing a letter.

It should be said that the applicant's intention is contrary to the legislative purpose of the Trademark Law, but anyone in the Detailed Rules can apply to the Trademark Office to cancel the registered trademark (which means that it has not been used for three years) and explain the relevant situation. Among them, "explain the relevant situation" should mean something.

2. When his registered trademark application was rejected, the applicant also applied for cancellation of the registered trademark for three years. Several enterprises used the notice of trademark rejection issued by the Trademark Office as the reason for applying for cancellation of the trademark for three years. This application reason is obviously unfair to the trademark registrant. Once, a foreign enterprise mentioned that the trademark of an enterprise in Chongqing was not used. After receiving the notice from the Trademark Office to provide the certificate of trademark use, the trademark registrant immediately wrote a letter. On the one hand, it issued evidence of trademark use, on the other hand, it strongly emphasized why the foreign enterprise said out of thin air that our trademark had not been used for three years. In fact, we have been using it, and they were framing it.

although the words of enterprises are a little heavy, they also reflect an objective fact. At this point, the "explanation of relevant information" in the Detailed Rules should be strictly limited to prevent someone from taking advantage of it. Anyone who files an application for revocation shall attach a written report at the same time, the contents of which shall be the market survey results of the trademark that has been revoked, or the investigation of the business situation of the trademark registrant within three years and other relevant documents. Only in this way can the applicant really act in accordance with the law.
