What's the difference between trademark transfer and trademark transaction? Trademark transactions include the purchase of trademarks, the purchase of registered trademarks and the sale of registered trademarks. Trademark transfer is a legal concept and an administrative procedure, which means that a trademark registrant transfers his registered trademark to another person's name, which is essentially the transfer of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark. According to the situation at the time of transfer, trademark transfer can be roughly divided into contract transfer, subsequent transfer and transfer due to administrative orders. What's the difference between trademark transfer and trademark transaction? 1. Transfer of Contract The transferor transfers the registered trademark to others according to the contract and agreement. The contract will stipulate the contents of the transferred trademark, the rights between the assignor and the assignee, etc. The transfer of contract form is generally paid, that is, a certain amount of money is paid in exchange for the registered trademark and its exclusive right. 2. Inheritance and transfer, as the name implies, refers to the transfer of a registered trademark by inheritance. There are two situations: (1) the registrant of a trademark is a natural person, and after his death, that is, after the end of his life, the successor inherits all the registered trademarks of the deceased according to the inheritance procedure. (2) Where a trademark is registered by an enterprise, institution or organization, the registered trademark under its name shall be transferred when the enterprise or institution is merged or merged. Third, trademark transfer caused by administrative orders generally occurs in public ownership countries. The administrative orders mentioned here are mainly those plans and administrations that cause the circulation of property. No matter the subsequent transfer or the trademark transfer due to the administrative order, there is no need to pay money for the trademark transfer, nor does it involve the transaction of registered trademarks. So generally speaking, trademark transfer refers to contract transfer, which is why the public will confuse trademark transfer with trademark transaction. Although trademark transaction and trademark transfer are two different concepts, they complement each other and are inseparable. Trademark transaction is a kind of buying and selling behavior, but without trademark transfer, this transaction lacks legal effect, which is why most trademark transfer websites now include trademark transfer. At present, the number of registered trademarks in China is huge. In just 20 16 years, the number of trademark applications nationwide reached 369 1 10,000. On such a huge basis, it is very necessary to trade and transfer trademarks in order to use them effectively. What's the difference between trademark transfer and trademark transaction?
