Article 49 of the "Trademark Law" stipulates that a registered trademark becomes the common name of the goods for which it is approved for use or there is no justifiable reason. If the trademark is not used for three consecutive years, any unit or individual may apply to the Trademark Office to cancel the registered trademark.

That is to say, if a trademark is not used for 3 years after registration, it can be revoked by others, allowing others to obtain the trademark and its rights.

2. When the company name or address changes, the trademark information must be changed promptly

Article 49 of the "Trademark Law" stipulates that in the process of using the registered trademark, the trademark registrant If anyone changes the registered trademark, registrant's name, address or other registration matters on his own initiative, the local industrial and commercial administration department will order him to make corrections within a time limit; if he fails to make corrections within the time limit, the Trademark Office will revoke his registered trademark.

3. Be sure to actively respond to trademark dispute applications filed by other parties

According to the provisions of the Trademark Law, others are allowed to register a trademark during the trademark registration application period and after the trademark registration. If someone has an objection to a registered trademark, he or she can apply to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board for review or invalidation within a certain period of time.
