Under what circumstances is it better to transfer a trademark? What is the process?

In recent years, the importance of trademarks has been continuously publicized and promoted. Many people have begun to register their own trademarks, so some people have become rich because of trademarks, and some people are worried about trademark infringement or eager to register, so The number of trademark registrations is increasing rapidly, and many of them are operating for investment purposes, but I don't know when the trademarks will be transferred.

Generally speaking, when is the best time to transfer a trademark? There are two main situations:

The first situation is that the trademark has not been used continuously within three years from the date of registration. According to the relevant provisions of the Trademark Law, you may face the situation of "withdrawal of three products". In addition, if someone else applies to the Trademark Office for "withdrawal of three years" and there is no evidence to prove that the trademark has been used continuously for three years, the trademark should be revoked. Therefore, it is more appropriate for unused trademarks to be transferred within three years of registration.

The second situation is when the trademark is in use. Trademarks in use do not need to be subject to trademark withdrawal restrictions, so there is no need to worry. If you are eager to sell, don't stop using the trademark for long. When necessary, you can provide evidence for the continued use of the trademark, and the maintenance costs of the trademark are not difficult for the enterprise, so we can sell our brand at any time during use. don’t worry.
