How long does it take to transfer a trademark?
1. For trademark transfer, you first need to select the trademark you want on the professional Maihui trademark transfer platform. After confirming the trademark, the customer service staff will contact the seller through the platform. The two parties then communicate and negotiate to determine matters related to trademark transfer. The time required at this stage is uncertain. Some may be 2-5 working days, but some customers may choose. There will be a lot of consideration for trademarks, so more time will be wasted, but the platform staff will choose a more suitable trademark for you based on your needs.
2. After negotiation, the buyer and seller can go to the Trademark Office to apply for transfer. The Trademark Office will issue a "Trademark Acceptance Notice" within 1-2 months after receiving the transfer application.
3. After the trademark is accepted, the Trademark Office will conduct a trademark review. The entire examination time takes approximately 4-8 months. The state needs to review all aspects of trademark transfer and examine whether the trademark transfer application complies with the relevant provisions of the trademark law.
4. After approval, an approval announcement will be issued, and a registered trademark approval certificate and transfer certificate will be issued. The period for trademark announcement is three months.
5. If no objection is raised at the expiration of the trademark announcement period, a trademark transfer certificate can be obtained. The entire transfer time takes approximately 6-10 months.
How much does it cost to transfer a trademark? Trademark costs have always been a concern for everyone. The trademark transfer fee is mainly divided into two parts:
1. Trademark transfer fee: The trademark transfer application fee is 500 yuan. If multiple trademarks are transferred at the same time, trademark transfer fees must be paid separately. Trademarks are divided into 45 categories, and different categories include different products or services. Registration fees are charged based on the number of categories, and each category of trademark fees is stipulated for 10 items of that category of goods or services. For more than 10 items (excluding 10 items), an additional 30 yuan will be charged for each item exceeding 1, and the acceptance fee will be paid directly to the State Trademark Office.
2. Trademark transfer agency fee: If you choose to entrust an agent, you need to pay a certain additional agency fee. The agency fee should be determined based on the charging standards of the trademark agency you choose.
