I want to buy a trademark. What is his process and how long will it take?

If you want to buy a trademark, the process is roughly as follows:

1. Choosing a trademark: When choosing a trademark through the trademark trading platform, you need to make clear your business scope, because there are 45 categories of trademarks, each category involves different goods or services, and the category of buying a trademark should be determined according to the business scope. In addition, if there are other special requirements for trademarks, such as the implication to be included, the Chinese characters or graphics to be included, the purchase budget, etc., it is necessary to communicate with the consultants of the trademark trading platform to determine the trademark conveniently and quickly.

second, sign the purchase contract after determining the trademark: after determining the intended trademark, it is necessary to verify the trademark status such as the validity period, license filing and previous use of the purchased trademark, and sign the purchase contract after confirming that it is correct.

iii. providing materials for trademark notarization (it takes 1-5 working days): trademark notarization can effectively prevent civil disputes in order to prove the authenticity of trademark transfer between buyers and sellers from the legal level. However, what needs to be reminded here is that trademark notarization cannot prove that the trademark has belonged to the buyer. After trademark notarization, the buyer can use the trademark first through authorization.

iv. preparing materials for trademark transfer

1. preparing materials for trademark transfer: the materials that the buyer needs to provide are: the company needs to provide its business license and official seal; Individuals need to provide personal identity cards and business licenses for individual industrial and commercial households. The seller needs to provide information as follows: the company needs to provide business license and official seal, and the individual needs to provide ID card; Original Trademark Registration Certificate. Application for Transfer; Through the agency, the agency needs to provide the Power of Attorney

2. Submit the materials to the Trademark Office (it takes 1-2 working days)

3. The Trademark Office will accept and review the transferred trademark (it takes 4-6 months). For example, if the seller has registered a trademark with the same name on the same kind of goods or similar goods, it needs to be transferred together. If it fails to submit the materials together, it will be rejected.

4. Approve and issue the Certificate of Approved Trademark Transfer, and the trademark transfer is completed.

others: generally speaking, the trademark can be used by the buyer after notarization, but the trademark really belongs to the buyer only after the trademark transfer formalities are completed, which takes about half a year.
