The original title is about changes in document service for non-use cancellation against international registrations in China.

Short summary

China's CNIPA will no longer send non-use cancellation documents to overseas trademark registrants by ordinary mail, instead forwarding electronic copies through WIPO's system. This change addresses the problem of registrants missing deadlines due to undelivered mail. The response deadline is two months and 15 days from the notification date. If a Chinese trademark agency is on record, documents continue to be served to that agency.
