Hello! There are two ways to obtain a registered trademark, namely original acquisition and inherited acquisition. Original acquisition means that two or more rights holders apply to register the same trademark with the Trademark Office at the same time, thereby obtaining trademark rights.
There are three ways to acquire by inheritance: The first is transfer acquisition, that is, acquiring the trademark right through a contract. Specifically, it can be divided into three situations: First, the trademark right* **Someone transfers his share of ***'s trademark rights to a third party other than ***owner through a contract.
The second is inheritance. That is, a natural person obtains the exclusive trademark right through inheritance and inheritance distribution. Specifically, there are two situations: First, when the owner of a single trademark right dies and there are a majority of heirs, the majority heirs can inherit the trademark right in accordance with the relevant provisions of the inheritance law, and thus become the sole owner of the trademark right.
The third is inheritance. That is, a legal person or other organization obtains the exclusive trademark rights through merger or division. Paragraph 2 of Article 44 of the "General Principles of the Civil Law" stipulates that "if an enterprise legal person is divided or merged, its rights and obligations shall be enjoyed and borne by the changed legal person", and these rights should include trademark rights. Therefore, when an enterprise legal person is divided into two or more enterprises, a trademark right can be formed. When an enterprise absorbs and merges other enterprises, and the absorbed enterprise is the exclusive owner of a certain trademark, the merged enterprise can become the public owner of the trademark; when two or more enterprises merge to establish a new enterprise, one of them If an enterprise was the exclusive owner of a certain trademark before the merger, the newly established enterprise due to the merger can become the exclusive owner of the trademark.
