In Foshan, trademark transfer is a way for the transferee to obtain the selected trademark from the transferor, that is, the trademark registrant, by paying a certain transfer fee. This method usually needs to sign a contract and be examined and approved by the auditor of the Trademark Office, in order to truly obtain the ownership of the trademark and put it into the market.
However, there will be some problems in trademark transfer in individual cases. At this time, enterprises should think about countermeasures and strive to obtain the ownership of trademarks as soon as possible without any problems. Let's take a look at the common problems.
(1) The trademark shall become invalid immediately.
In the process of trademark transfer, the validity period may only be 1-2 years or several months. After purchasing this trademark, it needs to be renewed immediately. Of course, the transferee needs to be familiar with the trademark information before this, so as to find out the validity of the trademark before the transfer and urge the transferor to renew it;
② The meaning of a trademark is opposite or irrelevant to its category.
A good brand name, consumers will immediately think of the goods they need to use after seeing it, so that the two can play the role of brand promotion. Therefore, first of all, it depends on whether the brand name is related to the products sold;
(3) Trademarks can use less goods.
The reason for this situation is that the protection of registration is not well considered or some categories are rejected when registering trademarks. For example, a cosmetic trademark can only be used in the small category of "mask" and cannot be used in other cosmetics such as eye shadow and lipstick. This is very narrow for trademark protection, and secondly, the use of trademarks by others in other fields also has a certain impact on the enterprise itself.
But if it is a well-known trademark, don't worry about it, because it has the protection of all categories, so don't worry about other categories being used by others.
(4) Trademark combination registration, each part does not match.
Although trademark combination registration is cheap, it is not conducive to trademark approval. Moreover, the independent registration of each element is more conducive to the promotion of trademark value.
