Is there any risk in trademark transfer? What? Why are there risks in trademark transfer? What are the risks of trademark transfer? The biggest role of trademarks in the market is for brand identification. It takes too long to register a trademark! Too much trouble! If you select trademark transfer, the trademark transfer is the act of the trademark registrant transferring the exclusive rights of the trademark to another party in accordance with legal procedures during the validity period of the registered trademark.
Trademark transfer gives everyone the impression that it is convenient, convenient and faster, but there are many profiteers and scammers who interfere with it and cause harm. What are the pitfalls of trademark transfer? Nowadays, trademark registration is basically based on grabbing, which is commonly known as trademark squatting. The editor will share with you the transfer trap.
Trademark Trap 1: Making something out of nothing
Why do you say something out of nothing? Because this seller does not have trademark rights, but he claims that he is the owner and has trademark rights. To put it another way, a trademark is owned by several people. This person does not have the right to trade alone. Don’t let your money go down the drain~ You must first check, second certificate, and third attention. What are first check and second certificate? 3. Pay attention to: first, verify the identity of the seller, and secondly, have two documents (trademark registration certificate, seller’s ID card. If the company needs a business license). Then thirdly, pay attention to whether the trademark is owned by one person or several people. The second thing to note is whether the name on the trademark registration certificate is consistent with the name on McGee’s ID card. The third thing to note is whether the certificate submitted by the seller is real or forged.
Trademark Trap 2: Que Jin Shao Liang
Que Jin Shao Liang is a problem that often occurs at fruit stalls in vegetable markets. In fact, it also appears in trademarks. The editor often encounters it. Some people who don't understand or pretend not to understand have similar trademarks with the same name, but they only give one to the customer when they sell it, and keep the other one for themselves, in accordance with the provisions of the trademark law. If you have several similar trademarks, then when you transfer, all these similar trademarks must be transferred together. The consequences of this can be imagined. No one would be stupid enough to buy someone else's product that is similar to themselves, so this transaction is not valid. One registration number and multiple categories are sold separately? Never sell them separately.
Trademark Trap Three: Alarmism
The editor once heard a true story. A customer (referred to as A) who wanted to buy a trademark fell in love with a well-known agency company. I haven’t purchased the trademark because it was too expensive, but I have been looking for an opportunity. By chance, he met a knowledge agent (who lied that he had "already" talked with him for a long time), and the price was nearly half cheaper than the well-known one, so he was moved. The other party asked him to pay a deposit, but he didn't even think about sending the money to the other party immediately. Later, the other party asked him to send money and said that they were going through the procedures there and the money was not enough and asked him to pay here. Then he asked him to send money one after another. It was more than the pre-agreed price, so he felt something was wrong. When he called, he could no longer be contacted, and he was ruined by taking advantage of others. Don't be greedy for petty gains.
Don’t let sacred intellectual property become a tool for some unscrupulous agencies and agents to make profits! Be sure to find a well-known agency company, and communicate online rather than offline.
