Shenzhen is the earliest developed area in China. Due to the advantages of economy, trade and geographical location, many people choose to register their companies in Shenzhen. Registered companies have the same industry and different industries. In order to distinguish them, each company has its own independent trademark. Now there are more than millions of trademarks in Shenzhen. Many enterprises are more likely to encounter the same or similar trademarks when registering trademarks. In order to avoid this situation, we will choose the way of trademark transfer to obtain the trademark. What are the ways of trademark transfer in Shenzhen? What are the transferred materials?

trademark transfer refers to the act that a trademark registrant legally transfers a trademark to others within the validity period. There are three main ways of transfer:

1. Contract transfer: the trademark transferor transfers the contents, rights, obligations and liabilities for breach of contract of a registered trademark through a contract. This form of transfer is generally paid, that is, the transferor collects a certain transfer fee by transferring the exclusive right to use a registered trademark.

2. Successive transfer: There are two situations in which a registered trademark is transferred:

(1) After the death of the registered owner (natural person), it means the end of his life, and the successor shall inherit all the registered trademarks of the deceased according to the inheritance procedure.

(2) the enterprise is transferred as the successor when the registered trademark owner is merged.

3. Administrative order transfer: This form of transfer usually occurs in public ownership countries. The administrative orders mentioned here are mainly plans and administrative orders that cause the circulation of property. For example, the division, merger, dissolution or transfer of production of state-owned enterprises in accordance with administrative orders will inevitably lead to the change of the subject of registered trademarks.

because of the different forms of trademark transfer in different situations, it is more common to transfer trademarks by contract. What materials should be prepared for this transfer?

first of all, you need to provide an application for trademark transfer, and submit an application for trademark transfer between both parties, waiting for the trademark office to review the transferred trademark.

in addition, it is necessary to formulate a trademark transfer contract. Both parties need to sign and affix their official seals. The transferred trademark must be notarized at the Trademark Office in advance. When applying for transfer, a notarial certificate of transfer shall be submitted together.

in addition to these basic materials, both parties need to provide a copy of their ID card and sign it; If it is a company, it is required to submit a copy of the annual inspection business license and affix the official seal.
