Where an applicant has filed an application for registration but has not been approved for registration, and its name, address or other registered items have changed, it may apply to the Trademark Office for corresponding change procedures.
Does the company change need to change its trademark? No, it only needs to change the trademark when the registered address and company name change, and it does not need to change the trademark when the legal person or shareholder changes or the business scope changes.
What are the risks of not changing the trademark in time?
1. According to the trademark use rules, if the address or name of the registration certificate is inconsistent with the registered subject, it will affect the legal effect of the evidence in the later trademark dispute, and it will also be considered as an act of irregular trademark use.
2. If the trademark is not changed in time according to the subject change information, a third party may request the Trademark Office to cancel its registered trademark according to the Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law.
