The 10th edition of the international Nice Classification applies. The term of protection for a trademark is 10 years. The trademark can be maintained indefinitely by renewal every 10 years. If priority is claimed, an opposition may be filed within 60 days after the trademark is published in the Official Gazette. There is a 3-year use requirement. If the trademark is not used for 3 years, third parties may file a cancellation action against it. Renewal is required every 10 years.
