Two days ago, I handled a trademark transfer for a client. Generally speaking, trademark transfers are mostly due to entering a supermarket or some formal occasions. The organizer is afraid of taking responsibility and requires a trademark. , at this time, it is too late to register, and many trademarks are transferred. But the customer who came this time was a bit exception. He was mainly afraid of being accused of infringement.
Boss Wang’s trademark is a trademark in Class 24, named AB (A and B are two Chinese characters). We have achieved some success, but Boss Wang recently discovered a BA Class 24 trademark outside. Normally, such a thing would not be registered, but the Trademark Office actually approved it due to manual review, and the trademark registration certificate was obtained. At this time, Boss Wang was afraid of trouble, market confusion, and people would say that he had infringed upon it. So a request for trademark transfer was made.
In fact, such examples are relatively common among some large companies. On July 18, 2010, Hanwang reached an agreement with Apple to transfer the "i-phone" trademark to Apple for an amount of RMB 365. million US dollars (approximately 24.9046 million yuan). Just one example. It is too easy to confuse iphone and i-phone, it is better to transfer them directly.
