As one of the 45 categories of trademarks in my country, Class 11 trademarks play an extremely important position and role in our lives. Through inquiries, we know that Class 11 trademarks mainly include trademarks for products such as lamps and air conditioners. More specific products can also be divided into refrigerators, lamps, car lamps, water dispensers, water pipe faucets, solar water heaters, etc. As one of the almost essential items in our lives, we naturally cannot live without them.
Due to the huge market demand, there are not a few businesses engaged in the production or sales of products in this area. However, if businesses want to enter the market, they must have trademark as the basic protection and prerequisite. Compared with trademark registration, trademark transfer obviously has more advantages, and the benefits it can bring to merchants are also huge. What is the process for trademark transfer in Category 11?
The transfer of any trademark is actually very similar. Generally speaking, we can organize it into the following steps:
1. Evaluate the commercial value of the trademark and determine the trademark transfer price;
2. Find a trademark buyer or buyers and sign a contract to ensure the legal validity of the transfer;
3. The merchant transferor and the transferred party hand over trademark information and handle trademark notarization ;
4. Submit a trademark transfer application to the Trademark Office and wait for the review to be completed. Usually, after receiving a transfer application from a merchant, the Trademark Office will conduct a rough review of it.
The review includes whether the information is complete, whether both merchants are qualified to hold the trademark, whether the trademark is legal and valid and allows transfer, and whether the trademark registration and the trademark holder are the same person. Once the trademark meets the conditions, it will enter the process of acceptance, review, and issuance of a trademark approval and transfer certificate. If the trademark transfer goes smoothly between the merchants, most transfers can be completed within 6 to 8 months. But this time is generally a bit long for merchants. But usually after the negotiation between the merchant and the buyer is completed, the buyer can use the trademark without waiting for the transfer of trademark rights to be completed. And this is precisely one of the advantages of trademark transfer.
During the process of trademark transfer, merchants still have many things to pay attention to to avoid the risks of trademark transfer. The seller should pay attention to verify the identity of the buyer and whether he really wants to buy the trademark or just wants to commit fraud. Even when conducting transactions on the platform, merchants should verify the authenticity of the platform. This is especially true for the buyer, who not only needs to verify the identity of the seller, but also carefully examines the trademark situation.
