Trademark transfer has become a popular way to obtain trademarks. Many people will choose to transfer trademarks, but some trademarks cannot be transferred. So which trademarks cannot be transferred?
(1) Trademarks used for two similar goods shall not be transferred separately. If there are two or more goods in a registered trademark, they belong to similar products and can be transferred; if they belong to similar products, they need to be transferred together and cannot be divided and transferred.
(2) The joint trademark shall not be transferred separately. A joint trademark is a series of trademarks owned by a majority of people. It has similar markings. After one of the trademarks is transferred, the owners of the two trademarks use similar trademarks on the same goods, which will cause confusion about the source of the goods.
(3) Trademarks are owned by the owner and may not be transferred without the consent of other owners. If a registered trademark belongs to more than two owners, each owner must obtain the consent of the other owners to transfer part of its rights and interests.
(4) Trademarks that are allowed to be used by others must not be transferred at will. If a trademark is authorized to be used by another person, it can only be transferred with the consent of the user.
(5) If the transfer of a registered trademark does not comply with legal procedures, the trademark transfer will also be invalid.
(6) The trademark is questioned and there are problems with the trademark itself. A disabled trademark may result in revocation and may not be transferred.
