What precautions should be taken when transferring a personal trademark to a company?

1. Transfer of personal trademark to company 1. The trademark is under your personal name. You can transfer the trademark or not. The trademark owner and the company must sign a license agreement in advance. The right holder only needs to license the trademark to the company for use. 2. The trademark is in the name of the organization with your individual license. The individual license has been cancelled, and the trademark transfer can be processed. 2. Process for transferring a personal trademark to a company 1. Trademark transfer application stage: Submit trademark transfer application documents. The ID card and individual license of the trademark transferor, the business license of the transferee with the official seal; the trademark transfer application form, signed by the transferor, and the seal of the transferee; the power of attorney for trademark transfer, signed by the transferor, and stamped by the transferee; a copy of the trademark registration certificate and a copy of the trademark file. 2. Formal acceptance and review stage by the Trademark Office: Formal review is passed—gt; Trademark Office issues acceptance notice—gt; Substantive review is passed—gt; Trademark Office issues transfer certificate Note: Trademark Office issues acceptance notice in about 1 month; The entire transfer process takes approximately 10 months. The above times are all estimated times (the law does not clearly stipulate the completion time of trademark review), and the final time is subject to the completion time of the Trademark Office. 3. Precautions for transferring personal trademarks to companies 1. Article 25 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law" stipulates: When a registered trademark is transferred, the trademark registrant shall transfer the same or similar trademark registered on the same or similar goods. It should be transferred together; if it is not transferred together, the State Trademark Office will notify it to make corrections within a time limit; if it fails to make corrections within the time limit, the application for transfer of the registered trademark will be deemed to have been abandoned. 2. The personal trademark is transferred to the company. Because the trademark application requires a signature, the signature on the trademark transfer application and the power of attorney must be consistent with the signature at the time of application. If they are inconsistent, the transfer will not be approved, and the Trademark Office will let the transferee pass halfway. The other party must provide notarized deeds from both parties. If the transfer cannot be provided, the transfer will be deemed abandoned and will not be approved. 4. Information required for registered trademark 1. If applying for registration in the name of a company, a copy of the business license must be provided, and the official seal must be stamped on the copy of the business license; 2. If applying for registration under an individual name, a copy of the personal ID card must be provided 1 copy and a copy of the business license of the individual industrial and commercial household. The copy of the business license of the individual industrial and commercial household must be stamped with the official seal; 3. Provide the trademark text or pattern, and if the color needs to be protected, the color pattern must also be provided; 4. Provide the trademark to be registered The goods/services can be based on the goods operated by the applicant or the services provided by the applicant, with reference to the ninth edition of the International Classification of Goods and Services for Trademark Registration (Nice Classification) and the "Similar Goods and Services" modified by the Trademark Office based on the above-mentioned international classification table.
