Whether a company or individual wants to create its own brand or studio and stand better in the market, at this time it must have a trademark involved. The emergence of trademark transfer provides traders with faster channels and possibilities for obtaining trademarks. Most merchants can use their trademark within a few days of paying and notarizing the trademark and handing over the information. Trademarks obtained through registration can also be used immediately, but the risks are high. Once the trademark application is unsuccessful, it means that the businessman's previous investment will be in vain.

Are defensive trademarks transferable?

Before knowing whether a defensive trademark can be transferred, the first thing a businessman needs to know is what a defensive trademark is. We can understand defensive trademarks literally, because in order to protect the main trademark from infringement, a large number of similar trademarks registered with the main purpose of being defensive are what we call defensive trademarks. Of course, since it is a trademark, merchants can also use it for transfer. However, it is worth noting that all defensive similar marks are not transferable individually. The transfer can only be achieved if the main trademark registered with the merchant is included.

It can be seen that the so-called defensive trademark refers to a trademark that is similar to the trademark registered by the merchant. Therefore, in order to achieve the transfer of the defensive trademark, the merchant must transfer the main trademark at this time. The transfer process is also consistent with most trademark transfers. First, merchants need to find a reliable trademark transfer platform, then evaluate the trademark, determine the price, and find buyers in turn. Then sign a trademark transfer entrustment contract with the buyer and the platform in turn, and handle the transfer procedures for trademark rights. The specific process of trademark transfer is as follows:

1. Prepare the information and submit the application form to the Trademark Office.

2. When the Trademark Office receives a transfer application from a merchant, it usually enters the trademark acceptance process within 1-3 months.

3. Review process of trademark transfer. It mainly conducts a business review of the materials submitted by both parties, as well as a review of the trademark itself. If the materials submitted by the operator are incorrect or the operator is not qualified to hold a trademark, and the trademark has not been modified or registered, the Trademark Office will reject the trademark transfer application. It takes about 6 to 8 months.

4. Issue and issue trademark approval and transfer certificates. Through the review process, the trademark will enter this link in turn, which also means the completion of the trademark transfer.
