Can a trademark be transferred to an individual’s name?

As part of intellectual property rights, trademarks are also intangible assets and can be transferred to others through sale, transfer, etc. It is rare for a trademark to be transferred to an individual, but it can be transferred. So how to transfer a trademark to an individual’s name?

First of all, when transferring a trademark to an individual for signature, the purpose of the trademark transfer should be made clear. Some trademarks are transferred for business and profit making. They can bring certain benefits to themselves by using the trademark or investing in other companies. However, some merchants' transfers are free and there is no income. For example, if the registered owner of a trademark dies, there will be a legal heir who inherits his trademark ownership. No matter which transfer method is adopted, merchants need to ensure that the trademark transferee must be qualified to hold the trademark, that is, a business license certificate is required before the next step of trademark transfer can be carried out.

Depending on different purposes, there will be some differences in the trademark transfer process. Generally speaking, the process of the Trademark Office transferring a trademark to an individual's name can be summarized as follows:

1. The businessman files an application for the transfer of trademark rights; After the materials are reviewed, a "Trademark Acceptance Notice" will be issued;

3. Trademark Office staff should review and complete the trademark within 6 to 8 months.

4. The Trademark Office publishes an announcement on its official website and records the announcement in the trademark database.

5. Issue a "Trademark Approval and Transfer Certificate" to complete the transfer of trademark rights;
