what is the purchasing process of the R-mark trademark? If you want to own a trademark, you can apply for registration or buy a trademark. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Trademark registration means that the applicant conceives the trademark design, name, etc. by himself to apply. So what is the process of trademark purchase?
The process of trademark purchase and trademark transfer is roughly divided into four steps:
The first step is to determine the scope and status of the target trademark to be transferred. With regard to the scope of assignment of trademarks, the Trademark Law stipulates that identical or similar trademarks on identical or similar goods shall be assigned together. If some trademarks do not need to be assigned together, an application for cancellation of unnecessary trademarks may be filed at the same time as the assignment.
the second step is to submit the trademark transfer application documents to the trademark office. The transfer application documents include: the application for trademark transfer, the qualification certification materials of the transferor and transferee, etc.
The third step is the acceptance and examination by the Trademark Office. After accepting the application for trademark transfer, the Trademark Office will conduct a review. During the review, the examiner may ask for information such as the trademark transfer contract, and the review time is about 6-1 months.
the fourth step is to approve the transfer and make an announcement. The Trademark Office will approve the application for trademark transfer if it considers that it meets the legal requirements, and issue a Certificate of Transfer Approval. Trademark transfer shall take effect from the time of approval of the announcement.
