As the name suggests, trademark transfer is the act in which the owner of a registered trademark transfers the right to use his registered trademark to others according to law. He can permanently transfer or transfer the ownership of the trademark that he cannot use for a limited time. . The transferor must first ensure that he is the owner of the trademark, and before signing the contract, explain to whom and what type of trademark use license has been signed, as well as the obligations of the owner of the trademark use right in the original use contract.

Legal basis: According to Article 42 of my country’s Trademark Law, when a registered trademark is transferred, the transferor and the transferee shall sign a transfer agreement and submit applications to the Trademark Office at the same time. The transferee shall ensure the quality of the goods using the registered trademark.

If the transferor only wants to transfer the property within a time limit and recover the ownership on time, he needs to indicate the transfer period in the contract, and the ownership will be automatically returned after the expiration date.

In addition: If the original use contract stipulates that the trademark owner shall not transfer its trademark rights to others, then the trademark owner cannot transfer the trademark. Moreover, if a trademark is successfully transferred, the transferee shall not disclose the business secrets or technology secrets provided by the transferor to the transferee for the purpose of transferring the trademark rights.

First of all, trademark ownership is generally divided into two situations. These two situations will also be different when handling transfer business. Let’s talk about the first type first. If the trademark belongs to the company, then when transferring, you only need to transfer the trademark and the company together. The second type is under an individual's name, so during the transfer process, you need to go to the Trademark Office with the trademark owner to handle the relevant transfer procedures.

Summary: When handling trademark transfer, be sure to go through a formal registration agency. Only with approval from the National Trademark Office will it be protected by law, otherwise the transfer will be deemed invalid.
