Article 30 "Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC)" Where the name, address or other registered items of a trademark registrant change, an application for change shall be filed with the Trademark Office. Where a trademark registrant changes its name, it shall also submit a certificate of change issued by the relevant registration authority. If approved by the Trademark Office, a corresponding certificate shall be issued to the trademark registrant and announced; If it is not approved, it shall notify the applicant in writing and explain the reasons.

When an enterprise or individual transfers or authorizes a trademark, the Trademark Office will check whether the trademark registration information is consistent with the address and name on the business license. If the name and address of the enterprise with inconsistent trademark information are found, the Trademark Office will reject the application and need to apply for change before trademark transfer and authorization.

It is possible that the trademark will be revoked by others.

If the registered trademark in the second paragraph of Article 49 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) becomes the common name of the goods it has approved for use or is not used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons, any unit or individual may apply to the Trademark Office for cancellation of the registered trademark.

It is not difficult to see from the law that any individual or unit has the right to apply for cancellation of a registered trademark if it has been discontinued for three consecutive years. Upon receipt of an application to cancel a trademark that has not been used for three years, the Trademark Office will send a notice to the trademark registrant at the address provided by the trademark registrant. If the enterprise has moved and can't receive the notice, and the trademark registrant can't provide evidence of the use of the trademark during the proof period, the Trademark Office will issue a document to revoke the trademark.

3. Staying in shopping malls or online shopping malls will be affected.

Generally, to enter a shopping mall or online shopping mall, you need to check the trademark information and the name and address of the business license. If the information is inconsistent, you can't enter a shopping mall or online mall.

4. When handling pledge and other businesses, it will affect the approval.

If the name and address of the trademark are not changed in time, it will also affect the examination and approval when handling bidding, banking, trademark pledge and other businesses.

5, affect the subsequent renewal of the trademark.

The service life of a trademark is 10 years. If you still need to use it after the expiration, you need to apply for renewal. When applying for renewal, you must also check the trademark information. If you find that the name and address of the trademark have not changed, the closer the trademark term is, the longer the formalities will be, and it will be impossible to renew the trademark. Once the trademark expires, if you want to re-register, someone may have applied in advance because of a small loss.

2. Where the address and name of the trademark registrant are changed, they can be changed together and an application can be submitted;

3. Where the address of a trademark registrant changes for many times, the change may be made based on the last address;
