Trademarks can never be used unless they are registered or transferred. In fact, the validity period of a trademark is 1 years, just like our ID card. If there is no 1 years, the trademark needs to be renewed, that is, the trademark renewal, and there is a grace period. If the grace period has not been renewed, the trademark will be cancelled. Under the present circumstances, it is very difficult to obtain a trademark, and it is a great pity that it has been cancelled because it is not known that it will be renewed.

To tell you about the validity of trademarks in other countries under the popular science, almost all countries in the world have stipulated a certain time limit for the effectiveness of the exclusive right to use trademarks, but the regulations on the time limit are different in different countries. Some countries stipulate 2 years, such as the United States, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Ecuador, the Philippines and other countries; Some countries stipulate fifteen years, such as Czechoslovakia, Iraq, Syria and other countries; Most countries stipulate 1 years, such as the Soviet Union, Japan, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Greece, Thailand, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Romania and other countries; Some countries have special regulations, such as Dominica, which stipulates that the validity period is 5 years, 1 years, 15 years and 2 years, and the registrant is free to choose, only the charging standards are different; Lebanon stipulates that it is 15 years, 3 years, 45 years and 6 years, which is chosen by the applicant at the time of registration; However, Hungary stipulates that the period of validity of the trademark after registration is until the trademark owner allows others to use the trademark, which is actually an indefinite long-term protection.

From the promulgation of the Trademark Law to the problems encountered in the use, the Trademark Law promulgated in 1982 changed this practice and determined the principle of equal treatment for the time limit for applying for registered trademarks at home and abroad. Article 23 of the Trademark Law stipulates: "The validity period of a registered trademark is 1 years, counting from the date of approval of registration." This not only adapts to the international common method. It is also in line with the actual situation in China. It is good for the country and enterprises to have a specific protection time for registered trademarks.

a trademark is not used for life, but it has a validity period of 1 years. This is something that the holder must make clear. It is not necessary to renew the trademark after 1 years, so don't forget it.
