Trademark transfer process and tips

Things to note in the trademark transfer process are as follows:

Enterprises should go through the procedures for transferring registered trademarks in a timely manner due to mergers, separations or mergers. If an enterprise has been deregistered, its trademark ownership will naturally disappear and the trademark transfer procedures can no longer be processed. If a trademark transferor registers an identical or similar trademark on the same or similar goods, he must handle the transfer together. To apply for the transfer of a registered trademark, the transferor and the transferee must submit an application to the Trademark Office at the same time, and the transferee shall handle the application procedures for transferring a registered trademark. After the Trademark Office approves the transfer application, it will issue the corresponding transfer notice and transfer certificate notice to the trademark transferor and transferee.

Documents and materials required for trademark transfer: 1. "Trademark Agency Power of Attorney": If you entrust a trademark agency to act as an agent, you must provide a power of attorney stamped with the transferee's seal. If transferees outside mainland China want to apply for trademark transfer, they must entrust a trademark agency to do so. 2. "Application Form for Transfer of Registered Trademark": If you entrust an agency to apply for trademark transfer, it will be prepared by the agency and must be stamped or signed by both the transferor and the transferee. 3. A copy of the transferee’s business license or certification documents from public institutions, associations and other organizations with legal person status. If the transferee is outside the mainland, such documents are not required. 4. Special certification materials: 1) When transferring the transferor’s registered trademark for medicines, medical nutritional foods, medical nutritional drinks and baby food, the transferee needs to provide certification documents from the health administration department, namely the “Pharmaceutical Production Enterprise License” Certificate" or "Pharmaceutical Business Enterprise License". If the above two certificates have not been obtained, provide the approval document issued by the health administrative department agreeing to establish a pharmaceutical production or business enterprise; if the transferor uses it as a disinfectant trademark, the transferee needs to provide Certificate from the health and epidemic prevention department. 2) When transferring trademarks for cigarettes, cigars and packaged cut tobacco, the transferee must provide documents proving production approval by the national tobacco authority. Applicants outside mainland China do not require such documents. 3) If the enterprise fails to complete the transfer procedures in time due to merger, separation or merger and the stamp has become invalid, the transferor's stamp may not be affixed, but a valid certification document from the transferor's competent department or a certification document from the local industrial and commercial administration department must be provided. .
