In a literal sense, trademark transfer and trademark change are very similar, especially many corporate users will directly understand trademark change as trademark transfer. But for those with trademark knowledge, seeing someone make this mistake can make them laugh out loud. Is there a difference between trademark transfer and trademark change? Of course, the difference is huge.

First, let Bajie Intellectual Property Trademark Transfer Network talk about the difference in their meanings.

The meaning of trademark change is: Trademark change means that after the Trademark Office approves the registered trademark, the trademark registrant whose address, name or other registration matters change should submit relevant information to the Administration for Industry and Commerce. The Ministry of Commerce applies for relevant change procedures.

The meaning of trademark transfer is that the trademark registrant transfers the exclusive right to use the trademark to the transferee in accordance with legal procedures during the validity period of the registered trademark. Trademark transfer must be submitted to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for review in accordance with legal procedures. After approval, the transfer registration can be announced and then take effect.

Trademark transfer is closely related to trademark registration. A trademark whose information has been changed shall not be transferred if it is not changed in time. At the same time, the trademark after transfer needs to promptly change the trademark registration information so that the trademark can be traded normally. Use in industrial activities. When a trademark is changed, the subject matter of the trademark registration remains unchanged, only the name of the registrant or the relevant information of the registrant is changed, and only the registration needs to be changed; trademark transfer means that the registrant of the registered trademark has changed. Although the registration information such as the address and name of the trademark has not changed, the trademark is essentially a trademark. If a legal person changes, transfer registration procedures must be completed.

However, after the trademark transfer procedure takes effect, the ownership of the trademark changes. The transfer of the trademark can be carried out separately. All trademarks that have not been registered by the registrant are transferred, except for those with trademarks. Transfers similar to other unassigned trademarks need to be transferred together.

Although the meanings of trademark transfer and trademark change are different, they are ultimately related to each other. For some people who do not understand trademark knowledge, this is understandable.
