Hello,
When investing in trademark rights, an enterprise must specify in the relevant investment documents the method of trademark investment, the amount of the trademark bid, the variety, quantity, time limit and area of ??goods using the trademark. Distribution of trademark income, ownership of the trademark after the termination of the enterprise, etc.
When an enterprise’s trademark right investment is reported to the trademark authority for review, it should submit a trademark evaluation report and relevant trademark investment documents. The trademark administrative department shall make an examination decision within 30 days from the date of receipt of the materials.
When an enterprise invests with trademark rights, the invested enterprise shall submit the review documents of the trademark authority to the industrial and commercial administration authorities when registering. If the review documents are not submitted, the registration will not be approved.
If an enterprise stops using a trademark for three consecutive years, the Trademark Office will order it to make corrections or cancel it within a time limit.
There are two situations for investing in trademark rights:
First, investing the right to use trademark rights into shares. This investment is actually a shareholding in the enterprise in the form of trademark royalties. In this case, the trademark registrant shall sign a trademark license contract with the invested enterprise.
Second, investing in trademark rights as shares is actually handing over the right to use trademark rights and part of the disposal rights to the invested enterprise. At this time, the trademark owner can only dispose of his trademark after reaching an agreement with the invested enterprise. Such as transferring trademarks, licensing others to use trademarks, etc. At this time, the invested enterprise should sign a long-term, exclusive or exclusive trademark use license contract with the trademark registrant to effectively safeguard the interests of the invested enterprise.
If a rights dispute arises when a trademark is used as an investment and is licensed to others, the equity dispute between the trademark registrant and the invested enterprise should be resolved first. Only after the trademark is divested, one party continues to use the original trademark as an investment. Investigate its liability for trademark infringement.
Hope it helps you and hope you will adopt it
