There are always customers who ask, if I buy a trademark from your company, should it be transferred to me personally or to a company? Is it better to transfer it to an individual or to a company? Is there any difference between the two? The editor would like to share with you my opinion:
To transfer a trademark to an individual, you need a personal ID card and a self-employed license (the business scope must be consistent with the trademark). To transfer to a company, a copy of the valid company license is required. Can. Both have advantages and disadvantages
Benefits of personal transfer: convenience, disadvantages are easy to mention if not used for three years.
Disadvantages of company transfer: If the company changes in the future, the The trademark under the name also needs to be changed (even if it is just one word). The company is canceled without annual inspection, and the trademark is invalid. The advantage is that it is better to use the company to operate the image and reputation. When the trademark becomes bigger, you can apply for honors and honors.
So it is practical There will be no difference in use if the trademark is transferred to an individual or company name. Let’s look at transfers to individuals and transfers to companies respectively.
Transfer to an individual
If the trademark is transferred to an individual's name, the trademark and the individual's ID card will be bound together.
Transferred to the company
The trademark is transferred to the company's name and bound to the company.
After the trademark is transferred to the personal name, the trademark will not cause problems due to the upgrading of the ID card or the change of household registration. However, after the trademark is transferred to the name of the company, if the company address and company name change, the trademark will also need to be changed. Make changes immediately, especially before the company is cancelled, the trademark must be transferred immediately, otherwise the trademark will also be cancelled. But if the company continues to grow in size, the company's trademark may be of great help to the company in applying for bank loans and trademarks.
Warm reminder from Zhejiang Trademark Agency Co., Ltd.: If the company changes its name or address, the trademark must also change its address or name.
