Is the first three years after the trademark is revoked invalid?
Legal subjectivity:

Many people don't understand the difference between trademark cancellation and trademark cancellation. In fact, the difference between the two is very big. Trademark revocation means that the trademark registrant changes the registered trademark, the registrant's name, address or other registered items by himself in the process of using the registered trademark, and the local administrative department for industry and commerce shall order it to make corrections within a time limit; If it fails to make corrections within the time limit, its registered trademark shall be revoked by the Trademark Office. Any unit or individual may apply to the Trademark Office for the cancellation of a registered trademark if it becomes the common name of a commodity approved for use or if it is not used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons. Trademark cancellation means that a trademark registrant applies for cancellation of its registered trademark or the registration of its trademark on some designated goods, and the cancellation is approved by the Trademark Office. The effect of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark or the exclusive right to use a registered trademark on the goods specified in this part shall be terminated from the date when the Trademark Office receives the application for cancellation. There is no need to pay a fee for applying for cancellation of a registered trademark. Trademark revocation refers to the procedure that the State Trademark Office makes a decision or ruling on acts that violate the Trademark Law and relevant provisions, so as to eliminate the exclusive right to use the original registered trademark. Trademark revocation mainly includes the following situations: 1. The revocation of improper use refers to the situation that the registered trademark owner violates the obligation of fair use registration and his registered trademark is revoked by the Trademark Office. 2. If a registered trademark becomes the common name of the goods approved for use, the Trademark Office shall revoke it upon application. 3. Where a registered trademark has been stopped for three consecutive years, the Trademark Office shall apply for cancellation.

Legal objectivity:

Trademark revocation does not require three years of law. According to the provisions of Article 44 of the Trademark Law, the Trademark Office may order a trademark that has been discontinued for three consecutive years to correct or revoke its registered trademark within a time limit. The three-year period starts from the date of registration. A registered trademark shall be used continuously. If a registered trademark ceases to be used for three consecutive years, anyone may apply to the Trademark Office for cancellation of the registered trademark. The use of trademarks mentioned in the preceding paragraph includes the use of trademarks in commodities, commodity packaging or containers, commodity trading documents, or in advertising, exhibitions and other business activities. In essence, the use of trademarks should have commercial significance. The mere publication of trademark registration information or the rights statement made by the trademark registrant on its registered trademark should not be regarded as trademark use in the sense of trademark law. The above-mentioned review of the time when a registered trademark has ceased to be used for three consecutive years shall be counted as three years from the date when the Trademark Office receives the application documents for canceling the use of a registered trademark for three consecutive years. If a trademark registrant starts to use its registered trademark after it has been revoked on the grounds that it has not been used for three consecutive years, its use behavior is invalid. After receiving the applicant's application for revocation, the Trademark Office will notify the trademark registrant and restrict him from providing evidence of the use of the trademark within the above three years or justifiable reasons for not using the trademark within two months from the date of receiving the notice. If the use evidence is not provided within the time limit or the evidence is invalid, the Trademark Office shall revoke its registered trademark. If he refuses to accept the revocation decision of the Trademark Office, the party concerned may file a review with the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board within 15 days after receiving the notice of the decision. If the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board decides to uphold the revocation decision of the Trademark Office after trial, the party concerned may bring a suit in the Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court within 30 days from the date of receiving the decision. Documents to be provided for revoking the trademark that has not been used for three consecutive years: 1. Power of attorney for trademark agency: if a trademark agency is entrusted, a power of attorney sealed by the applicant is required. Applicants from outside the mainland who apply for cancellation of their registered trademarks for three consecutive years in China must entrust a trademark agency; 2. Application for cancellation of a registered trademark that has not been used for three consecutive years: if an agency is entrusted to apply for registration, it shall be submitted by the agency; 3. A copy of the trademark announcement of the revoked registered trademark; And the instructions for the use of the revoked trademark.
