Validity of the Certificate if a Trademark is Not Used for 3 Years

Based on Clause 8, Article 2 of the Insurance Business Law, the amended Intellectual Property Law 2019 stipulates the obligation to use trademarks as follows:

The trademark owner has an obligation to continuously use the trademark. The use of the trademark by the transferee under a trademark use contract is also considered the trademark use by the trademark owner. In case the trademark is not continuously used for five years or more, the trademark registration certificate will be terminated in accordance with Article 95 of this Law.

According to this regulation, if the trademark is not used continuously for 05 years or more, the trademark registration certificate will be terminated. Therefore, if the trademark is not used for 03 years, the certificate remains valid.

Sincerely!
