Does the trademark registration have to be a company? Registered trademark is a hot item of current intellectual property standards, and it is also a way to protect enterprises, which is conducive to enhancing the visibility of enterprises. But many enterprises will have a question when registering their trademarks: in whose name should they register their trademarks? Is it better in the name of an individual or a company? Does the trademark registration have to be a company?

In fact, trademark registration does not necessarily mean that it is a company. From the legal point of view, in fact, there is no difference between good and bad in the legal sense, and they are all equal. As long as they pass the final judgment and obtain the trademark registration certificate, their legitimate rights and interests are protected by law. But in other ways, there are still some differences. Let's look at the differences between them.

1, the registration requirements are different.

When submitting materials to apply for registration, a copy of personal ID card and self-employed business license in my name are required for individual trademark registration, and there is no requirement for address, whether it is the address of ID card, residence address or the address of the company's business premises. The company's trademark registration requires the company's business license and official seal, and the registered address must also be consistent with the business license.

2. The ownership of registration is different.

Trademarks registered in the name of individuals only belong to individuals, and the establishment or cancellation of enterprises has no influence on trademarks, so trademarks registered by individuals are more stable and generally do not need to be changed. A trademark registered in the name of the company belongs to the company, and neither the legal person nor the shareholders of the company can possess it alone. If the company is cancelled, the trademark will be invalid. After the registration is completed, if the company's relevant information changes, the company's trademark will also change accordingly.

3. They have different control rights.

To register a trademark in the name of an individual, the ownership of the trademark belongs to the individual, so the right of control also belongs to the individual. A trademark applied for in the name of the company is dominated by the company. When there are a large number of shareholders and their interests are inconsistent, it is necessary to further discuss the dominant direction of trademarks.

The above is the answer to the question whether trademark registration must be a company. For other questions about trademark registration, please feel free to consult a professional intellectual property consultant.
