Compared with trademark registration, the success rate of trademark transfer can be said to be very high, but it is not 100%. There is also the possibility of failure. So today Bajie Intellectual Property Trademark Transfer Network will talk about it. What are the reasons for those "one in a million" cases of trademark transfer failure?

What is the reason why the trademark transfer was rejected?

1. The business license has not been inspected annually

Before handling the trademark transfer, it should be ensured that the business licenses of the trademark transferor and transferee usually participate in annual inspections and publish normal annual reports. Otherwise, the Trademark Office may refuse to apply for trademark transfer when processing the trademark transfer.

2. Significant changes in the transferor’s handwriting

When submitting a trademark transfer request, if the Trademark Office discovers that the applicant’s signature and the handwriting on the transfer contract have changed significantly during the application, The Trademark Office may require the assignor to certify on its own. If you cannot self-certify, your application for trademark transfer risks being rejected.

3. Trademark objections should be self-certified.

During the announcement period, if the transferor violates national laws, the trademark owner needs to prove that he does not comply with the objection. If it is not certified or self-certified, the Trademark Office will not accept it.

4. Identical or similar trademarks cannot be transferred together

When a trademark is transferred, trademarks that are similar or similar to the transferred trademark need to be transferred together. Some assignors hold more trademarks. If the trademark has not been transferred, and if the same or similar trademark is not transferred, the Trademark Office will not accept it.

5. Transferring a trademark without the consent of the registrant

If a trademark is transferred, the registered trademark is illegally misappropriated and transferred without the consent of the trademark owner. Once the Trademark Office finds out, it will reject the application for trademark transfer.
