How long is the period of use of a trademark after registration?
According to the Fourth Trademark Law Article 10 and Article 33 of the Trademark Law Implementation Regulations stipulate that a registered trademark is valid for ten years. If a registered trademark needs to be continued to be used after its validity period expires, the renewal procedures should be completed in accordance with the regulations within twelve months before expiration; if it cannot be processed during this period, a six-month extension period can be given. Each renewal of registration is valid for ten years, starting from the day after the expiration of the previous term of validity of the trademark. If renewal procedures are not completed upon expiration, the registered trademark will be cancelled.
There are two requirements for applying for renewal of a registered trademark. One is to entrust a trademark agency registered with the Trademark Office to handle the application. 2. The applicant shall go directly to the Trademark Office (Beijing) for application.
