If you change the trademark owner, do you need to send a new paper certificate?

Hello, I am happy to answer your question. Your change of trademark owner is similar to a trademark transfer. When the trademark transfer is successful, the Trademark Office will issue a trademark transfer approval certificate, which will be used together with the original trademark certificate. If you want a trademark certificate showing the new owner, you can apply to the Trademark Office for a replacement trademark certificate. The Trademark Office will issue a certificate registering the new trademark owner.

Trademark transfer is the act of a trademark registrant giving away, selling or transferring his registered trademark to others for exclusive use. To transfer a registered trademark, the transferor and the transferee must simultaneously apply to the trademark authority for transfer registration or evaluation within 6 months after the transfer.

To handle the transfer or transfer of a trademark, you must fill out the "Transfer Application/Registered Trademark Application Form". Since September 15, 2002, trademarks that have been applied for but have not yet been approved for registration can also apply for assignment or transfer.

1. Trademark transfer process

Trademark transfer needs to be handled at the Trademark Office. The process includes: application → acceptance → review → announcement → issuance of transfer certificate.

The buyer and seller sign a "Trademark Transfer Contract/Agreement".

Trademark holders handle trademark notarization, which usually takes 3-5 working days to complete and obtain the "Trademark Declaration Notarization Certificate".

Submit the prepared materials and notarial certificate to the Trademark Office, and then pay the transfer fee (usually 1,000 yuan).

The Trademark Office will issue an acceptance letter in about 1-2 months and start the review.

The Trademark Office will publish an announcement about 5-8 months after accepting the application and issue a "Certificate of Approval of Transfer of Registered Trademark" to both parties.

2. Will a new trademark registration certificate be issued after the trademark transfer is successful?

When the trademark transfer is successful, the Trademark Office will issue a trademark transfer approval certificate, which will be used together with the original trademark certificate. If you want a trademark certificate showing the new owner, you can apply to the Trademark Office for a replacement trademark certificate. The Trademark Office will issue a certificate registering the new trademark owner.
