As one of the world's major economies, the EU is a market that international companies have chosen to open up. When developing the European market, corresponding trademarks also need to be prepared. However, the difficulty of trademark registration is the same in any region, so when obtaining an EU trademark, many people will choose to transfer to obtain the corresponding trademark, while the process of international trademark transfer requires the preparation of corresponding materials.

Although the EU trademark is a foreign trademark, the transfer process is actually roughly the same as our domestic trademark transfer process, and it also requires trademark transfer application? International Trademark Office acceptance? Trademark Office review? Trademark announcement? Approval How to transfer your registered trademark? Issue transfer certificate and other steps. Application? Acceptance? Review? Announcement? Review of transfer certificate.

The entire process takes 1-3 months, depending on the situation, including trademark selection, contract signing, EU authority approval, and the issuance and issuance of electronic vouchers. As long as the trademark authorization is completed first, the EU trademark can be used after the contract is signed without waiting for the completion of the transfer process. Required materials: An application for transfer/application for registered trademark, signed/sealed by the transferor and the transferee; a copy of the trademark agency power of attorney signed/sealed by the transferee; if the transferee is a company, required Provide a copy of the business license; if the transferee is an individual, a copy of the ID card is required; the original transfer agreement signed/sealed by the transferor and the transferee; and a copy of the trademark registration transfer certificate.

Note on EU trademark transfer: Trademark transfer can only be done as a whole, but the license of the trademark may be limited to one or some specific member states. ***Assignment of homologous trademarks shall be valid in all Member States. EU member states have historically had their own trademark search systems. Applicants can search in the EU database, but at the same time they need to search in a single member state, which is very expensive and difficult to operate. As the largest organization in Europe, trademark transfer in the EU is not only low-cost and has a wide range of applications, but it can also easily lead to trademark transfer disputes. Therefore, the Trademark Network recommends that you inquire carefully before conducting trademark transfer to avoid unnecessary losses.
