What are the functions of trademark renewal? 50

1. Extend the trademark right and continue to obtain legal protection;

According to Article 40 of the current Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China, "if a registered trademark expires and it is necessary to continue to use it, the trademark registrant shall go through the renewal procedures in accordance with the provisions within 12 months before the expiration; If it fails to do so within this period, it may be granted a grace period of six months. Each renewal registration is valid for 10 years, starting from the day after the expiration of the previous term of validity of the trademark.

If the renewal formalities are not completed after the expiration of the period, the registered trademark shall be cancelled. “

The purpose of a renewal application is to continue the exclusive right to use a trademark that has already been obtained, not to obtain the exclusive right to use a newly registered trademark.

2. Continue to accumulate the intangible asset value of the trademark and obtain a higher appraisal value.

The right of renewal refers to the right of the trademark owner to apply for renewal of registration before the expiration of the validity period of the registered trademark, thereby extending the protection period of the registered trademark.

3. Only registered trademarks that are continuously used and have high reputation are eligible to be recognized as famous trademarks and well-known trademarks.

Registered trademarks are constantly renewed, making your exclusive right to use your trademark a kind of "perpetual right". The consequence of renewal is to convert your registered trademark into a permanent brand, and the commercial value of its location is enormous.

The trademark can continue to retain exclusive rights. The main reason is that the current success rate of trademark registration is facing too many challenges, and basically no institution dares to guarantee 100% passing. Therefore, it is still necessary to renew the trademark, otherwise the re-registration will face risks, and it is better to insist on using a trademark consistently, and the value of the trademark will also be improved.

Trademark registration is only valid for 10 years. Trademark renewals allow you to renew your trademark rights and continue to obtain legal protection, and each renewal registration is valid for 10 years.
