Trademark purchase involves the transferor (seller) and the transferee (buyer). Under normal circumstances, the transferee should go through the transfer procedures. What are the precautions in trademark purchase? Let's take a look at it with Bajie Shang Trademark Transfer Network.
There are five points for attention in trademark purchase:
1. First, we need to confirm whether the trademark owner still exists. Enterprise, we need to confirm whether the enterprise has been cancelled; Individuals, we need to confirm whether individuals have died. If the enterprise is cancelled or the individual dies for one year, the ownership of the trademark disappears, and such a trademark cannot be purchased (notarization of the statement made in the transfer is the best way to confirm whether the owner still exists).
2. Before the trademark transfer transaction, the buyer must verify the authenticity of the original registered trademark, and it is best to go to the Trademark Office to inquire about the relevant information of the trademark, such as whether the trademark has been transferred before and whether the trademark is valid. At the same time, we should also pay attention to whether the relevant procedures such as transfer certificate are complete. Because only the original registration, it is impossible to explain whether the trademark can be transferred or not.
3. For some "edge-ball" trademarks that claim to be similar to well-known trademarks, the buyer had better be cautious when buying them, because "edge-ball" trademarks belong to malicious cybersquatting, and once such trademarks are challenged by well-known enterprises, they are likely to face the risk of being revoked. This point needs special attention.
4. Confirm the status of the trademark and the registration stage of the trademark. Some trademarks are in the period of preliminary examination announcement, public objection, review, etc., which will seriously affect the value evaluation of trademarks after being transferred. Trademark agencies generally do not advise buyers to buy such trademarks, which may not be successfully transferred to the buyer's name or in an unstable state of rights. However, if the buyer takes a fancy to the trademark, the trademark agent will also make suggestions according to the situation, and the price will be different, so different suggestions should be made according to the actual situation.
5. Choose a professional trademark trading website. Trademark transfer takes a long time and needs to pay attention to many details. If you don't pay attention to it, problems will arise. Enterprises or individuals who buy trademarks rely on the trademarks of suitable enterprises' products or services to create brands and obtain economic benefits. If the trademark transfer is unsuccessful, the previous preparations made by enterprises will be wasted. Buyers on professional trademark trading websites can not only choose the right trademarks to get professional and high-quality services, but also ensure the smooth completion of trademark transfer procedures.
