Is the trademark still valid after the sole proprietorship is cancelled?

Legal analysis: It is invalid, but the transfer is valid. After the company is cancelled, the trademark can be transferred within one year, or an application for trademark cancellation can be submitted. If the company does not transfer the trademark at the time of cancellation, the company can transfer the trademark through transfer if the ownership has been decided.

Legal basis: Article 50 of the "Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China" If a registered trademark is revoked, declared invalid or will not be renewed upon expiration, it shall be deemed to have been cancelled, declared invalid or cancelled. Within one year from the date of registration, the Trademark Office will not approve applications for trademark registration that are identical or similar to the trademark.
