Issues that enterprises need to pay attention to when transferring trademarks

Trademark transfer is less risky than trademark registration, but this does not mean that it is without risks. Especially when companies transfer trademarks now, they must pay attention to the legal status of the trademark. Let’s take a look at what issues companies need to pay attention to when transferring trademarks.

1. The status of the trademark and whether the trademark has been successfully registered. Some trademarks are in the preliminary announcement period, public objection period, review period, etc., which will seriously affect the value assessment of the trademark after transfer. Trademark agencies generally do not recommend purchasing such a trademark, because a trademark in this state cannot be guaranteed to be successfully transferred to the buyer's name, or the rights will be unstable. However, if the buyer takes a fancy to the trademark, the trademark agent will also make suggestions based on the situation. The price will also be different, and different suggestions should be made based on the actual situation.

2. In these cases, it is best to entrust a professional trademark agency to confirm whether the trademark has been pledged and confirm whether the trademark has been licensed to others before the transfer and the time has not expired, or the trademark has been used before the transfer. The pledged debt may have been transferred.

3. It is necessary to confirm whether the trademark owner still exists and whether the company where the trademark is located has been cancelled. If it is an individual, whether the individual has died. If the company is canceled or the individual dies for more than one year, the ownership of the trademark will disappear and such a trademark cannot be purchased. Therefore, notarization of the declaration made in the transfer is the best way to confirm whether the owner still exists.
