The principle of revoking a trademark is:
Revocation of a registered trademark means that a registered trademark has not been used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons and has been applied for cancellation by others according to law, which is a registered trademark revocation processing procedure. Waste of resources and economic losses, so we have to be cautious.
Paragraph 2 of Article 49 of China's Trademark Law stipulates that if a registered trademark is not used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons, any unit or individual may apply to the Trademark Office for cancellation of the trademark. Generally speaking, trademarks that meet the two conditions of "no justification" and "no use for three years in a row" can be applied for "revocation". Therefore, defensive trade mark registered by enterprises for protection (non-use) purposes and idle trademarks that have been registered for more than three years and have never been actually used are at risk of being applied for "revocation" by others.
although the trademark law allows any unit or individual to apply to the trademark office for revocation, at the same time, article 66 of the regulations for the implementation of the trademark law stipulates that units and individuals should explain the relevant information of the trademark to the trademark office when applying for revocation, and the trademark office will issue a Notice of Providing Evidence for the Use of Registered Trademarks to trademark holders after accepting the application for revocation. The trademark holder shall, within 2 months from the date of receiving the notice, submit the evidence materials used by the trademark before the application for revocation or explain the justified reasons for not using it. If the evidence materials are not provided within the time limit or the evidence materials are invalid, the Trademark Office will revoke the registered trademark.
