Can trademarks be transferred for purchase?
Of course. The transfer of the trademark under the company name shall be subject to the consent of the legal person and all shareholders. Since trademark transfer must be fair, all shareholders need to sign the notarial certificate for confirmation. If a shareholder does not agree, it is difficult to transfer. Therefore, some partnership companies are registered under personal accounts, and whoever registers has the right to decide the transaction.
Can a registered trademark be transferred to others?
The registered trademark is much cheaper than the successfully certified trademark, and the related expenses cover the design fee and registration fee of the trademark itself. Because the value of the trademark itself has not been invested in capital and manpower promotion, the value of the trademark applied for registration has not, and the trademark transfer price will naturally be lower, which is a kind of interest. The second advantage of purchasing a registered trademark is that since the Notice of Trademark Acceptance has been issued, the time spent in the process of trademark registration has been greatly shortened, greatly reducing the time for the company to wait for the publication of trademark results.
What are the risks of buying a registered trademark?
1, trademark objection period
As we all know, in the process of trademark registration application, trademark registration can only be successful after a three-month trademark objection period. During this trademark objection period, if other individuals or companies have any dissatisfaction with this registered trademark, they can sue and ask for a review. Once the trademark is refused registration during the questioning period, all the expenses and time invested by the company will be wasted.
2. Similar trademarks
Not only is the trademark easy to be rejected during the questioning period, but if the trademark is submitted for registration without approximate examination or incomplete examination before applying for registration, the enterprise will be rejected directly when choosing the trademark registered in the acceptance notice, even if the trademark has not been verified, which will lead to the failure of trademark application.
3. Incomplete choice of trademark category
To buy a trademark registered by others, we must look at the type and scope of trademark registration and whether it conforms to the internal business and goods of the enterprise. Otherwise, even if the trademark registration is successful, it will not be of much use.
