This paper focuses on a class of fourth-order parabolic systems involving logarithmic and Rellich nonlinearities arising from modeling epitaxial thin film growth:

{ u t + Δ 2 u = | v | p | u | p 2 u ln | u v | μ u | x | 4 , v t + Δ 2 v = | u | p | v | p 2 v ln | u v | γ v | x | 4 .

By using some new techniques to deal with the Rellich nonlinearities μ u | x | 4 and γ v | x | 4 , as well as the coupled logarithmic nonlinearities | v | p | u | p 2 u ln | u v | and | u | p | v | p 2 v ln | u v | , we prove the global existence and finite time blow-up of weak solutions. Furthermore, we not only obtain a new algebraic decay estimate and study the behavior of global weak solutions, but we also derive a new upper bound estimate for the blow-up time in case of the occurrence of blow-up.
