trademark freezing is an uncommon phenomenon. It means that a civil subject who has creditor's rights with a trademark registrant makes a request and provides a guarantee, and the people's court issues a notice of assistance to freeze the trademark ownership of the trademark registrant. If you don't understand, you can think about freezing property. The two meanings are similar. For example, enterprises use trademarks to pledge to banks in exchange for funds. Banks and enterprises are creditor's rights. Banks have the right to request the court to freeze trademarks. If the court permits, the debtor can no longer exercise his trademark right within the specified time. Before the court makes other decisions, enterprises can't exercise their trademark rights normally. During the period when the trademark is frozen, the trademark licensing right will also be restricted. The trademark owner can no longer sign a trademark licensing contract with others, and can no longer authorize others to use the frozen trademark. Even if it is signed, it is a contract with no legal effect, and the Trademark Office will not pay attention to it. It is worth mentioning that the freezing period of registered trademark rights will not exceed 6 months. Therefore, if the trademark is unfortunately frozen by the court, according to the regulations, non-use caused by uncontrollable legal reasons will not lead to the cancellation of the registered trademark. In addition to being frozen, the trademark will be terminated due to improper use: (1) The registered trademark is valid for 1 years. If the trademark is not renewed at the expiration, the trademark right will be terminated due to the expiration. (2) Before the death or termination of the trademark owner, if the trademark is not transferred, the trademark right will die together with the obligee. (3) If a trademark registrant violates the provisions of the Trademark Law on the use of a registered trademark, the trademark right will also be terminated!
