The validity period of a registered trademark is 10 years, calculated from the date of approval of registration. After renewal, the period of use of the trademark will also be added to the expiration date by ten years. If the expiration date is: November 2012 On the 11th, the validity period after the renewal is approved will be until November 10, 2022. If a registered trademark expires and needs to be continued to be used, it should apply for renewal of registration within 12 months before expiration; if the application fails to be made during this period, a six-month extension period can be given. If an application has not been made before the extension period expires, the registered trademark will be cancelled. Each renewal of registration is valid for ten years. Some trademark owners did not submit applications for extension of exclusive rights during the trademark renewal and extension periods. I thought it would be enough to reapply, but in fact I made a very serious mistake, because I don’t know how many people want to use a good trademark, and maybe they gave up their trademark rights because of this step. Irreparable losses were caused.
