1. Annual inspection of business license
Before the trademark is transferred, the business licenses of the trademark transferor and transferee shall be guaranteed to participate in the annual inspection normally, and the normal annual report shall be published. Otherwise, the Trademark Office may reject the application for trademark transfer.
2. The transferor's handwriting has changed significantly.
When submitting the materials required for trademark transfer, the Trademark Office finds that the signature of the applicant and the text of the transfer agreement have changed significantly at the time of application, and may require the transferor to prove himself. If it cannot be proved, the trademark application shall be rejected.
1% of the probability that the trademark transfer is rejected is because it touches these "minefields"!
3. Trademark objection needs self-proof.
During the announcement period, if the assignor is suspected of violating national laws and regulations, the trademark owner shall provide evidence to prove his opposition. If the self-certification is not proved or the self-certification is not established, the Trademark Office shall reject the application for trademark transfer.
4. The same or similar trademarks cannot be transferred together.
Where a trademark is transferred, the trademark registered on the commodity that is the same as or similar to the transferred trademark shall be transferred together. Some assignors hold more trademarks. When transferring a trademark, if the transferor fails to transfer the same or similar trademark, the Trademark Office shall reject the application for transfer.
5. Transferring a trademark without the consent of the registrant.
When transferring a trademark, the Trademark Office finds that the registered trademark has been illegally misappropriated or transferred without the consent of the trademark owner, it will not accept it. It is a crime to transfer a registered trademark without permission. If you find your registered trademark stolen, you should report it to the public security organ immediately. At the same time, it shall call or write to the Trademark Office to terminate the trademark transfer.
The above are the common reasons why trademark transfer is rejected. Of course, there are other reasons for refusing. If you want to complete the transfer smoothly, you can entrust the trademark network to handle it on your behalf. We will make a risk assessment in advance, prepare the transfer materials in advance, and pay attention to all the transfer matters, so that each trademark can be transferred safely and cautiously.
