Can the trademark continue to be used after expiration? Do I need to reapply?

A: According to the Trademark Law, after the expiration of a trademark, the validity period can be extended through trademark renewal.

Trademark renewal refers to the system whereby the owner of a registered trademark extends the validity period of its registered trademark by going through certain procedures according to law after the expiration of the validity period of the registered trademark for 10 years.

If you intend to continue to use your trademark after its expiry, you will need to renew your registration within 12 months before the expiry date.

If you accidentally miss the trademark renewal period, do not worry, there is a six-month extension period. If you apply within this time period, you can still keep your trademark, but you need to pay a certain fee.

If you do not file an application after the extension period, then your trademark will be revoked by the Trademark Office.

At this time, if you still want to have the exclusive right to trademark, you need to re-submit the trademark registration application.

During this period, the risks of trademarks have increased greatly, and there are risks such as being registered by others, encountering trademark rejection, and trademark objections. And the time cost is greatly increased.

In general, trademark renewal is much easier and less costly than new registration.

If the trademark is intended to be used all the time, remember to handle the trademark renewal within the specified period, and you can also consult the trademark agency in other cases, and professionals will help deal with it better than you will handle it yourself.

Everyone wants a good trademark, do not miss your trademark because of carelessness, causing irreparable loss. (32 Knowledge Association)
