When registering a trademark, some companies spend a lot of energy designing trademark preparation materials, but always encounter audit failures, so they just go back and forth to prepare materials to register a trademark, which is a waste of time, money and energy. Some companies no longer choose the registration method when applying for registration for the first time, and obtain the trademark based on trademark transfer. The transferred trademark has been registered with the Trademark Office, and there will be no approval issues. If the other party is willing to transfer, just give the other party a satisfactory price. Obtain a trademark. On some trademark trading platforms, the trademark is used on the day of purchase, and it is unclear whether the trademark is reliable.
1. Trademark transfer process
Trademark transfer refers to the legal transfer of trademark ownership and patent rights by the trademark holder to others during the validity period of the trademark. The company purchasing the trademark sees a suitable trademark on the trademark platform, and then discusses the trademark transfer price with the trademark holder. Both parties are satisfied and sign a transfer agreement, and then submit the trademark agent, application for transfer, trademark transferor's ID card and industrial and commercial license to the trademark Apply to the Trademark Office for review and then wait for verification by the Trademark Office. The process is not short and takes 6-10 months.
If the verification is successful, it can be announced and the trademark transfer is successful. From here, it seems impossible on the day of trademark purchase, because it takes half a year to transfer the trademark. It does take this time to complete the trademark transfer process, but before the trademark transfer price is negotiated After the two parties sign the transfer agreement, the trademark transferor presents the trademark authorization, and then in the online fair, the trademark is first used for trademark purchase, and the trademark transfer verification is carried out at the same time.
2. Issues that should be paid attention to before trademark transfer.
Six months after the trademark transfer, after the Trademark Office verifies fairness, the trademark belongs entirely to the buyer, who can apply for the trademark directly from the business operation. If the trademark is used on the day of purchase, the trademark buyer should identify the trademark information, determine the identity information of the trademark holder, and determine the authenticity and validity period of the trademark before signing the trademark transfer contract.
