What does it mean to apply for revocation of the third trademark?
The meaning of the application for revocation of the third trademark is as follows:

The revocation of the third trademark means that anyone can apply to the Trademark Office to cancel a registered trademark that has not been used for three consecutive years. The purpose of this revocation application is usually because the applicant wants to obtain the exclusive right to use the trademark, but finds that the trademark has been registered by others. If the holder of a registered trademark has no reasonable reason to use it within three years, the Trademark Office has the right to cancel the registration of the trademark upon the application of a third party. The trademark cancellation fee is 1 yuan RMB, which is the official fee stipulated by the Trademark Office. If you entrust a trademark agency to apply for cancellation, you need to pay additional agency service fees.

Advantages of withdrawing three trademark applications:

1. Avoidance of invalid disputes: Trademark holders can voluntarily withdraw trademark applications in certain categories to avoid unnecessary conflicts or disputes with other people's trademarks;

2. Cost saving: If the trademark application is no longer needed in some categories, withdrawing the application can save subsequent registration fees and maintenance fees;

3. Optimize trademark portfolio: Trademark holders can adjust their trademark portfolio according to market strategy and withdraw trademark applications that no longer meet business strategy in specific categories;

4. improve the efficiency of examination and approval: withdrawing unnecessary trademark applications can reduce the examination burden of the trademark office and help improve the overall efficiency of trademark examination and approval.

To sum up, the application for cancellation of the third trademark refers to anyone applying to the Trademark Office to cancel a registered trademark that has not been used for three consecutive years. Its benefits include avoiding invalid disputes, saving costs, optimizing trademark combination and improving examination and approval efficiency.

Legal basis:

If a registered trademark becomes the common name of the goods it has approved for use or is not used for three consecutive years without justifiable reasons, any unit or individual may apply to the Trademark Office for cancellation of the registered trademark. The Trademark Office shall make a decision within nine months from the date of receiving the application. There are special circumstances that need to be extended, which can be extended for three months with the approval of the administrative department for industry and commerce of the State Council.
