Let’s talk about the facts first and then introduce the legal terms. Please note that the second question is already very clear, so I won’t list it further. I will only explain the first question in detail here.
The exclusive right of this trademark in mainland China is from March X, 2008 to X, March X, 2014. The two X's here are not the same.
Reason:
1. Article 37 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China, "The validity period of a registered trademark is 10 years, calculated from the date of approval of registration." .
2. According to the provisions of Article 10, Paragraph 1, Article 24 and Article 32, Paragraph 1 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Madrid Agreement on the International Registration of Marks", the term of international registration of a trademark is 10 years. The terms are as follows:

(1) The application for international registration shall be accompanied by Article 32.1 of these Rules The basic registration fee stipulated in Item (1)-1 of Article 32. The basic registration fee may be paid for a period of 20 years or with 10 years as the first installment. The supplementary registration fee stipulated in Item 1-3, Paragraph 1, Article 32, And if necessary, the additional registration fee specified in Article 32, Paragraph 1, Item 1-2, the additional registration fee specified in Article 32, Paragraph 1, Item 2-1, and the additional registration fee specified in Article 32, Paragraph 1, item 2-1.

Since the renewal of an internationally registered trademark requires international renewal, if it is not successfully renewed before expiration, the internationally registered trademark will be revoked, and its previous territorial extension or designated protection country will also be It was immediately revoked and became invalid. Therefore, the exclusive right date should be from March X+3, 2008 to X, March X, 2014.
