Comparative Study on The Trademark Renewal System Between China and Anglo-countries

Abstract

With the development of economy, all countries began to pay attention to the role of trademarks in economic development. Since the introduction of China's Trademark Law in 1982, the application rate of trademark registration in China has been increasing yearly, which is inseparable from the continuous improvement of China's trademark system and the continuous improvement of the awareness of trademark right holders. However, on the other hand, the renewal rate of trademark registration in China has always been low. This paper aims to compare and analyze the trademark renewal system of China and the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada from the perspective of renewal procedure through comparative research methods, so as to put forward valuable and targeted suggestions on improving the Chinese trademark renewal system.
