1. After receiving the application for transfer, the Trademark Office shall issue the Certificate of Approval for Transfer of Registered Trademarks within 15 days.
2. You can receive the certificate of approval and transfer of the registered trademark within six to eight months from the date of application.
This certificate should be used together with the original trademark registration certificate.
3. The date marked on the Certificate of Approved Transfer of Registered Trademark is the effective date of transfer registration, and it can be used after receiving the Certificate of Approved Transfer of Registered Trademark.
Therefore, generally speaking, the time for trademark transfer is about 6- 10 months.
Then I'll answer your question about how to operate trademark transfer.
Generally speaking, trademark transfer needs to go through the following processes and provide relevant materials:
1. The trademark transfer process includes: application, acceptance, review, announcement and issuance of transfer certificates.
2. Documents required for trademark transfer:
(1) trademark transfer/registration application;
(2) Identification documents (photocopies) of the transferor and transferee (the company is a business license and needs to be stamped with the official seal);
(3) Submit the power of attorney issued by the transferee, and directly submit the original and photocopy of the ID card of the transferee's agent in the acceptance hall;
(four) to apply for transfer, it shall also submit the relevant documents;
(5) If the application documents are in a foreign language, a Chinese translation signed and confirmed by the translation agency shall also be provided.
The applicant may entrust an organization with the trademark agency qualification recognized by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or go directly to the trademark registration hall of the State Trademark Office.
At the same time, I will also tell you the change of the trademark.
There are several provisions on information change in the Trademark Law as follows:
Article 17 Where an applicant changes its name, address or agent, or deletes a designated commodity, it shall go through the formalities of change with the Trademark Office.
Article 24 Where a trademark registrant changes its name, address or other registered items, it shall file an application for change with the Trademark Office. After approval by the Trademark Office, the trademark registrant shall be issued with a corresponding certificate and announced; If it is not approved, it shall notify the applicant in writing and explain the reasons.
Article 44 Where a registered trademark is used in any of the following acts, the Trademark Office shall order it to correct or cancel its registered trademark within a time limit:
(1) Changing the registered trademark;
(2) Changing the name, address or other registered items of the registrant of a registered trademark;
(3) Transferring a registered trademark by itself;
(four) stop using for three consecutive years.
(One thing should be noted: if the address is changed but the change procedures are not submitted, if the trademark has been registered for three years, it may be revoked by others for three years. Due to the change of address, if the relevant notice is not received and no evidence of use is provided, it is likely to be revoked. )
