It should be emphasized that a trademark that has passed the preliminary examination of the Trademark Office cannot be registered until three months after the announcement, and the trademark is protected by law. The period of validity of a registered trademark is ten years, counting from the date of approval of registration. If it is necessary to continue to use the trademark after the expiration of the validity period, it may apply for the renewal of the trademark registration.
