revocation of a trademark
Explanation:
1. What is revocation for reasons of non- use?
Revocation on grounds of non-use is the legal procedure for removing a registered trade mark from the UK register because the trade mark has not been used in the five years since the trade mark was registered, or for any uninterrupted period of five years and there are no proper reasons for non-use. It is possible to apply to remove the entire registration or just the registration of the mark for some of the goods and/or services.

1. A trade mark shall be liable to revocation if, within a continuous period of five years, it has not been put to genuine use in the Member State in connection with the goods or services in respect of which it is registered, and there are no proper reasons for non-use.

neutral  Robert Carter: Okay in the case of applying for "declaracion de caducidad" but not "caducidad" by itself, IMO.

caducidad /total o parcial/ de una marca
/total or partial / lapse (defeasance) of a mark


Explanation:
There might be a slight problem with a partial or total cancellation or revocation of a trademark that lapses or is defeated automatically.

There is also a vague chance that the marca is not a trademark but a picture- or wordmark.

Example sentence(s):
  • AUTOMATIC DEFEASANCE - Trademark Details Status: 602 - Abandoned-Failure To Respond Or Late Response Image for trademark with serial number 87209554 trademarks.justia.com/872/09/automatic-87209554.html
  • WHEREAS, the vast majority of jurisdictions in the world permit partial non-use cancellation of a trademark registration, but a number of countries and jurisdictions still do not provide for partial non-use cancellation in their trademark laws ....

agree  Robert Carter: Yes, we usually talk about a trademark lapsing because of non-renewal. I don't think it can revoke itself. A WIPO link https://www.wipo.int/edocs/lexdocs/laws/en/ad/ad004en.pdf
1 hr
  -> Yes, thx. That point - self-revocation or self-cancellation in whole or, problematically, in part - was exactly my own doubt and made me raise my (bushy Neanderthal) eyebrows. Proper link: https://iate.europa.eu/search/standard/result/1581001456649/...
