Step 1: The applicant submits the application. The applicant submitted an application to the Trademark Office to cancel the use of a registered trademark for three consecutive years, and stated in writing the "unused situation" of the trademark.

Step 2: After accepting the application for cancellation of three-year non-use, the Trademark Office will issue a Notice on Providing Evidence for the Use of a Registered Trademark to the registrant, requiring the registrant to submit the evidence for the actual use of the registered trademark within two months from the date of receiving this notice.

Step 3: The registrant submits the actual use evidence of its registered trademark on time. After receiving the evidential materials, the Trademark Office shall examine the evidence and find out the facts. If the evidence is found to prove that the registered trademark is actually used within the prescribed period of three years, a Decision on Continued Validity of Trademark Annotations shall be issued, otherwise a Decision on Cancellation of Trademark Registration shall be issued.

Step 4: If the registrant and the revocation applicant are not satisfied with the revocation decision or the maintenance decision made by the Trademark Office, they may file an "application for revocation review" with the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board.

Trademark revocation is a direct means to combat others' malicious possession of trademark resources, and also helps to clear the obstacles of trademark registration and avoid the waste of trademark resources.
