Notes on use of trademarks after registration:
1. The name, address or other registration matters of the registered trademark must not be changed on its own; if the name or address of the registrant changes, the trademark must be changed. Submit an application for change of registered trademark to the Trademark Office in a timely manner.
2. If a trademark registrant uses its registered trademark beyond the scope of goods or services approved by the "Trademark Registration Certificate" and indicates the registered mark?, it is an illegal act of passing off a registered trademark.
3. Registered trademarks should be used strictly in accordance with the approved trademark pattern and approved goods or services on the "Trademark Registration Certificate".
4. You are not allowed to change the text font, graphics or combination of registered trademarks on your own; if there are changes, you must resubmit a trademark registration application in accordance with the law.
5. The trademark registrant can transfer the trademark to others. The transferor and the transferee should sign an agreement and submit a transfer application to the Trademark Office at the same time. After the Trademark Office reviews and issues a "Trademark Transfer Certificate", the trademark rights will belong to the transferee.
6. A registered trademark is valid for ten years. If you need to continue to use it, you should apply for renewal with the Trademark Office one year in advance.
7. The trademark registrant has the obligation to use the registered trademark. If a registered trademark ceases to be used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons from the date of approval, anyone has the right to request cancellation.
8. Registered trademarks can be valued or pledged. In the case of pledge, the pledgor and the pledgee also need to sign a written pledge contract, and simultaneously submit an application for registration of the pledge to the Trademark Office, and the Trademark Office will make an announcement.
9. A trademark registrant can license others to use its registered trademark by signing a trademark license contract. The licensor shall file and submit the filing materials to the Trademark Office within the validity period of the license contract, and the Trademark Office shall make an announcement. The trademark use license shall not be used against bona fide third parties without registration. The licensee shall ensure the quality of the goods using the registered trademark and must indicate the name of the licensee and the origin of the goods on the goods using the registered trademark.
10. Registered trademarks are intangible assets. In most countries, trademarks can exist forever if they are renewed every ten years. The validity period of trademarks in a small number of countries is different. Registrants should use it in a standardized manner and continue to use it to maximize its value.
