Can the font or shape of the trademark be changed when using it?

The font or shape of the trademark cannot be changed when using it.

If you want to change the pattern, font or shape of the trademark when using it, you need to submit a new trademark registration application to the National Trademark Office.

"Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China"

Article 24 If a registered trademark needs to change its sign, a new registration application must be submitted.

Article 49 If a trademark registrant changes the registered trademark, the registrant’s name, address or other registration matters on his own during the use of the registered trademark, the local industrial and commercial administrative department shall order him to make corrections within a time limit; If it fails to make corrections, the Trademark Office will revoke its registered trademark.

If a registered trademark becomes the common name of the goods approved for use or is not used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons, any unit or individual may apply to the Trademark Office to cancel the registered trademark. The Trademark Office shall make a decision within nine months from the date of receipt of the application. 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.
