When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
revocation of a trademark
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.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/trade-marks-revoc...
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.

1. Podrá ser declarada la caducidad de una marca si, dentro de un período ininterrumpido de cinco años, no hubiere sido objeto, en el Estado miembro de que se trate, de un uso efectivo para los productos o servicios para los que esté registrada, y si no existieren causas que justifiquen la falta de uso.

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

You are right of course, but I think this is the meaning in this particular context.

/total or partial / lapse (defeasance) of a mark
There is also a vague chance that the marca is not a trademark but a picture- or wordmark.

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 ....

: 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

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/...
