According to the second paragraph of Article 49 of the "Trademark Law": "A registered trademark becomes its approved use If the common name of a product has not been used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons, any unit or individual may apply to the Trademark Office to cancel the registered trademark. "As an economical and direct legal approach, "withdrawal of three trademarks" is used more and more frequently by some.
