How can I know that someone else's trademark has been idle for three years? If yes, how to apply for registration? Please tell me the detailed steps.
What you want to say is to apply for cancellation of a trademark that has been useless for three years, and then apply for registration of the same or similar trademark. However, it is very difficult to revoke a trademark that has not been used for three years, especially if the owner of the trademark is a natural person. Because the use of trademarks is very diverse, and it is easy to "make" some evidence of use. . However, if the trademark held by a company or group organization is still possible, the owner of the first trademark dies, the company goes bankrupt, cancels or is revoked for more than three years, and has no right to organize the reception of the trademark, it can be revoked. 2. The company has not operated, used, authorized to use, commissioned processing or publicized. Three years, then it meets the standard of revocation. However, it is difficult to obtain evidence. Because trademark review adopts the rule of inversion of proof, you can apply for revocation and then let the other party give evidence. But if you do this, it is easy to remind the trademark owner that someone is paying attention to your trademark, and this trademark is still valuable. . . In that case, once it doesn't work, it's hard to find another way. . . Instead of this, it is better to buy a trademark directly from the trademark holder. If the trademark holder does not use the trademark for a long time, I think it is not impossible to transfer it. .
