Trademark cancellation refers to the legal procedure in which the Trademark Office cancels or partially cancels a registered trademark based on the application of the trademark registrant or others.
Three specific situations of cancellation of registered trademarks:
(1) The trademark registrant applies to cancel his registered trademark
(2) The death or termination of the trademark registrant
(3) Failure to apply for renewal when the trademark expires
What to do if the enterprise cancels the trademark:
1. Trademark transfer.
2. If the trademark has not been transferred, the ownership of the trademark will be determined according to the resolution in the liquidation report when the enterprise is cancelled.
3. If the ownership of the trademark rights is not indicated in the liquidation report, all shareholders of the original company can handle the property that was omitted when the company was canceled and liquidated.
4. If the trademark registrant dies or terminates, and one year has expired from the date of death or termination, and the registered trademark has not been transferred, anyone can apply to the Trademark Office to cancel the registered trademark.
5. If a trademark is registered in the name of a company, the trademark rights will no longer exist after the company is cancelled, and anyone can use the trademark.
