What does it mean when "The trademark process is being declared invalid" is displayed on the trademark status query on the trademark website? Is the trademark not registered successfully? Answer: Your trademark has been requested to be invalidated by someone else. When the Trademark Office declares a trademark invalid, it shall notify the exclusive right holder of the trademark. Generally, a document will be sent to you to notify you. Maybe the document has been ignored by you. Article 44 of the "Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China" has registered a trademark that violates the provisions of Articles 10, 11 and 12 of this Law, or was obtained by deception or other unfair means. If registered, the Trademark Office shall declare the registered trademark invalid; other units or individuals may request the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board to declare the registered trademark invalid. When the Trademark Office makes a decision to declare a registered trademark invalid, it shall notify the parties concerned in writing. If the party concerned is dissatisfied with the decision of the Trademark Office, he may apply to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board for review within fifteen days from the date of receipt of the notice. The Trademark Review and Adjudication Board shall make a decision within nine months and notify the parties in writing. If there are special circumstances that require an extension, it can be extended for three months with the approval of the industrial and commercial administration department of the State Council. If the party concerned is dissatisfied with the decision of the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board, it may file a lawsuit with the People's Court within thirty days from the date of receipt of the notice. If other units or individuals request the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board to declare a registered trademark invalid, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board shall, after receiving the application, notify the relevant parties in writing and file a reply within a time limit. The Trademark Review and Adjudication Board shall make a ruling within nine months to maintain the registered trademark or declare the registered trademark invalid, and notify the parties in writing. If there are special circumstances that require an extension, it can be extended for three months with the approval of the industrial and commercial administration department of the State Council. If the party concerned is dissatisfied with the ruling of the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board, it may file a lawsuit with the People's Court within thirty days from the date of receipt of the notice. The people's court shall notify the other party in the trademark adjudication procedure to participate in the litigation as a third party.
