A trademark is a stepping stone for an enterprise, and a good trademark can bring rich returns to the enterprise. Therefore, registered trademarks have become a headache for enterprises. When registering a trademark, we always have some questions. I don't know whether it is better to register in the name of an enterprise. It's better to be personal! In fact, what Xiao Bian wants to say is that the value of trademarks is the same whether in the name of an individual or in the name of an enterprise! Then, what are the detailed differences between personal trademarks and corporate trademarks? The following is answered by Bajie Zhichan Xiaobian!

1. Trademark ownership party

The exclusive right to use a personal trademark belongs to an individual and is part of his own property. Corporate trademarks, legal persons and shareholders are not owners, but belong to the whole enterprise.

ii. application conditions

for personal trademarks, the applicant should be a self-employed person and not a natural person in the legal sense. An enterprise trademark is required to have the qualification of an independent legal person and be registered in the industrial and commercial bureau according to law.

III. Material requirements

Personal trademark application, providing self-employed license and applicant's ID card. Enterprise trademarks must be handled with the company business license and legal person information.

iv. categories of registration

in trademark registration, applicants can choose 45 categories to register according to their own business scope:

personal trademarks, and the categories registered in the registration must be consistent with the business scope of the business license. For example, self-employed people engaged in catering can only register in 43 categories, and no other categories are allowed to register. For corporate trademarks, you don't need to consider the business scope, and you can register all 45 categories.

V. Transfer and change

Personal trademark: individuals can directly transfer the trademark without deliberation. If it is not a special case, it is generally not necessary to apply for change.

enterprise trademark: it needs to be resolved by the shareholders' meeting before it can be transferred. After the registered capital and address of the enterprise change, it is necessary to apply for change.

VI. Restrictions on Use

Personal trademarks: Even a self-run company must obtain formal authorization before using products or services.

enterprise trademark: it can be used on its own products or services, but it should be noted that it can only be used by the enterprise itself and its branches, and subsidiaries, parent companies or other holding companies cannot directly use it.
