Registered trademarks are protected by law, and the registrant has exclusive rights over them for a period of time. Upon expiration of the validity period, the trademark right is no longer protected by law. The validity period of a registered trademark is 10 years, calculated from the date of approval of registration. If a registered trademark expires and needs to be continued to be used, it should apply for renewal of registration within 6 months before expiration; if the application is not submitted during this period, a 6-month extension period can be given. If the extension period expires and the application has not been submitted , cancel its registered trademark. Each subsequent exhibition registration is valid for 10 years.
Trademark extension processing:
1. If you apply directly, submit the application at the acceptance window of the trademark registration hall.
2. If a trademark agency is entrusted to handle the application, the trademark agency will deliver the application documents to the Trademark Office.
(3) Pay the renewal fee
A fee of 2,000 yuan is required for each renewal registration application. If the renewal registration application is submitted during the extension period, a delay fee of 500 yuan is required.
If a trademark agency is entrusted to handle the matter, the Trademark Office will deduct the fee from the advance payment of the trademark agency.
