Will trademark transfer be unsuccessful? Under what conditions will this happen?

There are no unsuccessful answers. Most of the reasons for failure are that the trademark is similar and has not been transferred together, or the information is wrongly written, and the owner's information is untrue. The Trademark Office’s decision not to approve the transfer application is based on Article 25, paragraph 3, of the Trademark Law Enforcement Regulations, which stipulates that applications for transfer of registered trademarks that may cause misunderstanding, confusion or other adverse effects shall not be approved. The transfer of a registered trademark is a way for the trademark owner to exercise its right of disposal. However, after long-term use, a registered trademark may have become well-known to the relevant public, and consumers may associate products with the same registered trademark. Confusion and misunderstanding are particularly likely to occur when a registered trademark is transferred. In order to protect the interests of consumers and avoid confusion and misunderstanding, the law stipulates that the Trademark Office will not approve an application for transfer of a registered trademark that may cause misunderstanding, confusion or other adverse effects, and will notify the applicant in writing and explain the reasons. For example, a county's Lianmei Cosmetics Co., Ltd. applied for registration of the "Yaqian" trademark and the "ARCHE" trademark on Class 3 cosmetic products. The two trademarks were not judged to be similar during the review of the registration application. Therefore, according to the "Trademark Article 25 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that the transfer registration does not need to be handled together. But in fact, due to the registrant’s extensive publicity through TV advertisements and other media, consumers have associated the “Yaqian” and “ARCHE” trademarks together, and even regarded them as different components of the same trademark. Therefore, if the registrant wants to transfer one of the registered trademarks to another person, he must register the other one together, otherwise it will cause confusion among consumers.
