Every year, all trademarks are put up for sale by the government.
The sale is a sealed bid auction. You can buy your own trademark. If you care about your trademark a lot and don't want someone else to buy it, you better bid a lot to be sure you keep it.
Revenue from the sale goes 99% to the previous owner, and 1% as a tax to the government.
Effectively the end result is a "trademark tax", where the tax amount is a fraction of the market value of the trademarks.
