How to deal with a company’s canceled trademark?

So many people may have a question: After the company is deregistered, what should be done with the trademarks under its name?

Trademark rights are intangible assets of the company, and they are valuable. When canceling the company, don’t forget that there are also such intangible assets.

Laws and regulations: After the company is cancelled, the trademark can be transferred within one year, or a trademark cancellation application can be submitted. If the enterprise does not transfer the trademark when canceling its account, the enterprise can transfer the trademark to the enterprise that has decided to own it through transfer.

In other words, one year after the company disappears, the trademark will be automatically cancelled. The trademark can be transferred within one year, and the trademark can be transferred through confirmation of cancellation. After one year, the right will no longer be available.

Generally speaking, there are the following methods to deal with trademarks.

Owned by a shareholder: After the company cancels the company's assets that it forgets to dispose of, they should be owned by its shareholders; its shareholders will continue to bear the responsibility for the company's outstanding claims and debts within the scope of the company's assets.

Transfer to an individual account: Trademarks can be transferred to an individual account through trademark transfer to facilitate subsequent use or other applications.

Transfer to other companies: If the company also has other companies, it can be transferred to the accounts of other companies.

Trademark transfer: For example, if the heirs of the rights and obligations after the merger, division or reform of the company, or the shareholders or investors who inherit the rights and obligations after the company is cancelled, the court will rule to force the transfer to the new right holder.

Trademark sales: During the validity period of the registered trademark, the trademark registrant transfers the trademark patent rights to the other party in accordance with legal procedures, which can turn intangible assets into tangible assets and generate economic benefits. There is no uniform standard for the value of a trademark. Generally speaking, trademarks with high recognition, good meaning, and high visibility have higher prices. Usually, trademarks on the market cost between 10,000 and 30,000 yuan. This mainly depends on factors such as whether the trademark name is smooth, whether there is more or less space, and whether it meets the project positioning.

Final friendly reminder: After the company is cancelled, appropriate measures must be taken to sell or transfer the trademark. If nothing is done, the trademark will disappear with the company's cancellation.
