Trademark transfer is one of the ways to realize trademark value. Any transferable trademark has at least a certain value, which is one of the reasons why many entrepreneurs compete to register trademarks. After the entrepreneur completes the whole process of trademark transfer, the relevant unit will issue a certificate representing the trademark transfer certificate. So, what is the process of trademark transfer procedures?

what are the trademark transfer procedures?

the trademark office shall first complete the examination, and if it agrees to transfer, it shall issue a Trademark Approval Transfer Certificate and make an announcement. The original Trademark Registration Certificate does not change its name. Where the assignee requests to change its name, it may apply for renewal of the trademark registration certificate. After the trademark license transfer certificate and announcement, the trademark right is officially transferred to the transferee. If the assignment is not agreed, the Trademark Office will notify the assignor and assignee in writing.

In addition, the Trademark Office should also examine whether the trademark assignor is the trademark owner, because the Trademark Office must confirm that the assignor has the right to make the next assignment; At the same time, it is also necessary to examine whether the transferred trademark is a legal trademark, whether there is a pledge without the consent of the pledgee, whether there is a license record, whether there are compulsory measures such as seizure by the court or other organs, which is also an important link to abide by the principle of "transfer together", and there must be no bad records in the process of trademark use. What needs to be particularly emphasized is that if the transferor is a state-owned enterprise, the trademark transfer may involve the disposal of state-owned assets, and the examination and approval procedures need to be handled separately. Second, the Trademark Office does not approve the application for the transfer of a registered trademark, which may cause misunderstanding, confusion or other adverse effects.

in case of trademark contribution, an investment agreement and a trademark value evaluation report shall be signed; If it is necessary to entrust others to handle it, it is also necessary to provide a power of attorney and foreign language materials, which need to be translated into Chinese, and submit an application for transfer to the State Trademark Office (the trademark office has a fixed format and both parties affix their seals and signatures), the identity information of the transferor and transferee and the transfer agreement.
