Many people may doubt whether the trademark in the trademark transfer is registered and validly exists. Therefore, during the transfer process, there is no need to judge whether the trademark is similar to the trademark, such as trademark registration, whether the trademark contains prohibited words, whether it is a registered trademark, etc. Therefore, the transferor and the transferee should sign the transfer agreement immediately. Why does it take so long to transfer a trademark?

1. National general scope

6-8 months is the transfer certificate issued by the Trademark Office and the announcement of the transfer of the trademark. The payment date on the certificate is the date of issue. Since the date of announcement, the trademark has been successfully transferred. The assignee has the right to transfer the trademark. The original trademark certificate is used along with the transfer front.

In Article 42 of the Trademark Law, the transferor and the transferee shall sign a transfer agreement and apply to the Trademark Office at the same time. The transferee shall ensure the quality of the goods using the registered trademark.

2. The transfer process is more complicated

Trademark transfer can only be completed through five processes, including: application acceptance review announcement and issuance of transfer certificate.

Initially, it is necessary to submit an application to the Trademark Office. Basically, it takes 1-2 months to wait for your application to be accepted. After receiving the transfer notice, the state will check whether the transferred trademark and the original trademark user comply with the transfer terms, and check whether the transferee is eligible for the transfer. Basically, it takes 3-5 months to complete the process. Issue a notice approving the transfer and issue a "Registered Trademark Transfer License". It takes about a week here.

3. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes

Why does trademark certification take 3-5 months? For example, the Provincial Trademark Office receives approximately 400,000 trademark registrations and transfers every month. Then about 10,000 trademarks have to be processed every day. Assume that there are 300 trademark offices responsible for trademark transfer and registration. Each person must check and process about 300 trademarks every day. Each person has to work for 8 hours, and each hour must process about 38 trademarks. case. This is still a conservative estimate, because the Trademark Office cannot handle the cases of 300 people, so the speed of accepting trademarks will never catch up with the speed of trademark submissions, which will lead to a queuing effect. You may submit your application in July, and the Trademark Office is still processing the application in June, so you have to queue up.

Therefore, it will take half a year to get it together, which is relatively fast. This also reflects that more and more people in China are beginning to pay attention to intellectual property protection and trademark protection. Details determine success or failure. Trademarks are of great significance to enterprises. Whether it is trademark transfer or trademark use, attention must be paid to these issues.
