Currently, trademark transfer is a common way for many companies to obtain trademarks. Compared with registered trademarks, the advantages of trademark transfer are more reflected in its speed and time, followed by the starting point. Because the transferred trademark has been used and promoted by the rights holder, it will have a certain degree of visibility and popularity. After the trademark is acquired, the business premises of the merchant will be virtually improved and profits will be realized faster, which is still one step away from success.
Trademark transfer has never been an easy task. Most merchants will choose a trademark transfer platform to complete the entire transfer process. But there are also many businesses that prefer to transfer funds privately themselves. Handling and completing the transfer of a trademark generally requires the following processes:
1. Evaluation of the value of the trademark. Regardless of whether it is the owner or purchaser of a trademark, before transferring the trademark, the merchant must first evaluate the value of the trademark to determine the transfer price of the trademark. But this process is not particularly easy to accomplish. Specialists are usually required to develop a reasonable transfer price as a reference based on corresponding evaluation factors. A price that is too high will often scare away buyers, and a price that is too low will make merchants feel losses. Only the right price can make both merchants willing to accept it.
2. Both parties sign a contract, prepare information, and fill in the transfer application form. The transfer of trademark rights is ultimately decided by the Trademark Office. But before that can happen, both companies need implicit information to prepare for submission. Among them, the materials that need to be prepared include: trademark certificate, business licenses of both parties, personal ID cards, transfer agreement signed by both parties, completed trademark transfer application, and then submitted to the Trademark Office for the next stage of trademark transfer.
3. Complete the trademark transfer. After submitting the transfer application, the Trademark Office will go through the procedures of acceptance, review, publication and issuance of the "Trademark Registration Certificate" in sequence. It takes about 6 to 8 months for a trademark to be transferred. But it can take much longer if it's dismissed or other unexpected events occur.
Trademark transfers often come with risks, especially for those who transfer their trademarks privately.
