The validity period of American trademarks is ten years, counting from the date of approval and registration of trademarks. Like registered trademarks in China, trademarks can be renewed before 10 years, or within 6 months after 1 0 years, and each renewal period is also 10 years. The trademark owner shall provide corresponding qualification certificates, submit an application for renewal of a registered trademark, and pay relevant fees to renew it.
At present, the American market is very huge among China's foreign export countries, which also leads many enterprises to choose to register American trademarks, and there are many points to pay attention to in registering American trademarks. When submitting an application for renewal, the owner of a registered trademark still needs to submit a declaration of use, stating that the trademark continues to be used in the designated goods/services in business, or the registrant does not use the trademark for other special reasons. Such non-use does not mean giving up the trademark. Otherwise, the United States Patent and Trademark Office may cancel the registration of a trademark even if an application for renewal is submitted within the period specified in the validity of the trademark.
The procedure of applying for trademark registration in the United States is complicated. Enterprises or individuals from China intend to apply for a trademark in the United States. Before submitting an application, they need to carefully check the trademark to be applied for, select the goods/services that meet the specifications and adopt the appropriate submission basis. Only in this way can we avoid issuing examination opinions in trademark examination as much as possible and ensure the smooth registration of trademarks; Enterprises or individuals in China who have applied for American trademarks or obtained registered trademarks in the United States need to pay attention to the latest status of their trademarks within the validity period of American trademarks to avoid their trademarks being revoked due to negligence.
