There are also many risks in the trademark transfer process. In fact, trademark revocation is one of them. Many people think that there is no such problem with trademark transfer. Next, Bajie Intellectual Property Trademark Network will explain to you what happens when a trademark transfer is revoked.

Trademark revocation refers to the situation where a trademark has not been used for three consecutive years and is revoked. Any unit or individual can submit a cancellation application to the Trademark Office. The trademark owner shall directly provide evidence of use of the trademark to the State Trademark Office within two months.

In trademark transactions, if the transferee’s trademark has not been used for three consecutive years, the competitor may file an application for withdrawal.

If the trademark transfer announcement receives a notice of withdrawal, the time limit for withdrawal shall be earlier than the date when the transferee actually obtains the trademark rights. In other words, the transferee needs to provide evidence of trademark use, otherwise the trademark rights will be revoked.

However, during this period, the transferee has not obtained the exclusive right to use the trademark, and of course cannot provide proof of use. In this case, the transferee must bear the consequences of the trademark being revoked. Newly purchased trademarks are revoked as soon as exclusive rights are granted, so it's not worth the money.

Therefore, not all trademarks can be successfully transferred in trademark transfer. It is recommended that the trademark transferee should clearly know the status of the registered trademark before the trademark transaction, and whether there is evidence that it has not been used for three years. It is recommended that the trademark assignee not purchase a trademark that has not been used for three years to avoid causing monetary and trademark losses.
