according to the provisions of the trademark office, there are only two ways for an enterprise to obtain the right to use another person's trademark, one is trademark licensing, and the other is trademark transfer. Trademark license can only obtain the right to use the trademark, but can not directly own the trademark ownership, while trademark transfer means that enterprises can obtain the exclusive right to use the trademark. Many enterprises will ask whether the trademark transfer is permanent when transferring the trademark. Is there a certain time limit for trademark transfer? Trademark transfer is actually the transfer of trademark ownership. After the trademark is transferred, the trademark receiver can permanently obtain the exclusive right to use the trademark. But we also know that trademarks have a certain period of validity. After the expiration of the validity period, if the trademark owner does not renew the trademark, then the trademark office will have the right to recover the ownership of the trademark. Therefore, although the trademark is permanently transferred at the time of transfer, the enterprise also needs to know the validity period of the trademark, so as to ensure that the enterprise can use the trademark permanently and ensure the development of the trademark to the enterprise. What are the precautions for trademark transfer?
Is there a similar trademark in the transferred trademark?
If there is a similar trademark, it is likely to have a certain adverse impact on the future development of the enterprise. Therefore, when an enterprise transfers a trademark, it must transfer the same or similar trademarks together to prevent trademark infringement or counterfeiting that may occur in the future development of the enterprise.
Whether the transferred trademark is a joint trademark:
Due to the characteristics of joint trademarks, when using joint trademarks, they need to be used together to distinguish similar trademarks, thus showing the distinctiveness of trademarks. However, if all * * * trademarks are not transferred together in the process of trademark transfer, the trademarks owned by * * * trademarks will be obviously invalid, which will directly lead to the invalidation of * * * trademarks.
Is the exclusive right to use a trademark transferred stable?
According to the Trademark Law, a registered trademark will be cancelled under certain circumstances, which may also lead to the invalidation of the trademark. If a trademark is invalid, it will directly lead to the failure of trademark transfer and cause some inestimable losses to the development of enterprises. Therefore, enterprises need to check whether there are certain hidden dangers when transferring trademarks. Whether trademark transfer belongs to permanent transfer, I believe everyone has a certain understanding. In addition, enterprises should also pay attention to avoid possible details in trademark transfer, otherwise it is likely to lead to trademark transfer failure, thus hindering the development of enterprises.
