after finding several trademarks, we can't buy them immediately, and we need to screen them. For example, the purchased trademark is still controversial, and you need to spend money to go to court. 1. category of registration: for example, the seeker is engaged in mechanical and electrical engineering, but the trademark is registered in category 33 (alcoholic beverages).

2. Whether to renew it: the registered trademark is valid for 1 years, and it can only be used after its expiration. If there is no renewal, it will cost 6 yuan to apply to the Trademark Office.

3. Is there any dispute? The acquired trademark is similar to a well-known trademark or has not been used for three consecutive years, and it has been disputed by the other party. Then, after the successful purchase, the enterprise still needs to prepare materials to appeal.

iii. Negotiated acquisition

After identifying the appropriate trademark, you can negotiate with the enterprise and carry out a formal acquisition.

1. Clarify the rights and responsibilities

Before purchasing a trademark, it is necessary to negotiate with the enterprise to clarify the rights and responsibilities between the two parties (such as purchase price, payment method, liability for breach of contract, etc.).

after the rights and responsibilities of both parties are clear, they can sign an agreement to accept the other party's trademark. Before the signing of the agreement, it is best to hire a lawyer to be present and check the clauses in detail for loopholes and defects.

iv. transfer registration

after the successful acquisition, the trademark belongs to the transferee, but it cannot enjoy the exclusive right to use it. If you don't apply to the Trademark Office for transfer registration before use, it is an unauthorized change of registered items and the trademark may be revoked according to law.

(1) Preparation materials:

Both parties' identity materials (such as business license, legal person information, etc.), trademark registration certificates, application forms, etc. should be prepared in detail as required. In addition, the transfer of notarized documents can also be prepared, which can also improve the success rate.

At present, the Trademark Office will receive 1 yuan's official fee once it accepts the application for transfer registration. Therefore, when submitting the application for materials, it is necessary to prepare this part of the expenses in advance.
