The transfer of a registered trademark is an act by which the trademark registrant transfers the exclusive right to use the trademark to another party in accordance with legal procedures during the validity period of the registered trademark. The transfer of registered trademarks generally takes the following forms:

1. Contract transfer

The transferor stipulates the content of the transferred registered trademark, mutual rights, obligations and liability for breach of contract through a contract etc. This form of transfer is generally paid, that is, the transferor charges a certain transfer fee by transferring the exclusive right to register a trademark.

2. Succession and transfer

There are two situations for the inheritance and transfer of a registered trademark: (1) After the death of the registered owner (natural person), that is, the end of his life, there is an heir. The inheritance procedure inherits all the registered trademarks owned by the deceased during his lifetime. (2) Succession and transfer when the enterprise as the owner of the registered trademark is merged or merged.

3: Transfer due to administrative order

This form of transfer generally occurs in countries with public ownership. The administrative orders mentioned here are mainly those plans and administrations that cause the transfer of property. For example, if my country's state-owned enterprises are divided, merged, dissolved or transferred according to administrative orders, the subject of registered trademarks will inevitably change.

Trademark transfer channels

Applicants can entrust an organization with trademark agency qualifications recognized by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to act as an agent. You can also go to the Trademark Registration Hall of the State Trademark Office to apply directly. Currently, there are nearly 800 nationally recognized trademark agency organizations, distributed in all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country.

In the process of reviewing trademark transfers, the Trademark Office often issues various documents to the applicant, such as notices of correction, notices of rejection, etc. Most of these documents require the applicant to make certain modifications to the original application content and respond. These documents are generally mailed through the post office. In view of the fact that the postal channels in some areas of our country are not very smooth, and some applicants' addresses have changed, applicants often fail to receive documents issued by the Trademark Office, which affects the transfer registration process.
