What is the success rate for non-use cancellation actions in China?
Success rates are high if solid evidence of non-use can be provided. The burden of proof initially lies with the petitioner, making evidence collection crucial.
Can I cancel my own trademark if it's still within the 3-year period from registration?
Yes. You can voluntarily surrender your trademark at any time, regardless of how long it has been registered.
What happens if the cancellation is successful?
The trademark is removed from the register as of the filing date of the cancellation petition, and the rights are deemed never to have existed from that point forward.
