If you want to own a trademark, you can apply for registration or purchase a trademark, both of which have advantages and disadvantages. Trademark registration means that the applicant designs the trademark pattern, name, etc. and applies for it. So if you want to purchase a trademark, what is the process of purchasing a trademark and what materials do you need to prepare?

The trademark purchase process and trademark transfer process are roughly divided into four steps:

The first step is to determine the scope and status of the target trademark to be transferred. Regarding the scope of trademark transfer, the Trademark Law stipulates that identical or similar trademarks on the same or similar goods should be transferred together. If some trademarks do not need to be transferred together, you can cancel the unnecessary trademarks while handling the transfer. Apply.

The second step is to submit the trademark transfer application documents to the Trademark Office. Transfer application documents include: trademark transfer application form, subject qualification certification materials for the transferor and transferee, etc.

The third step is acceptance and review by the Trademark Office. After the Trademark Office accepts the trademark transfer application, it will review it. During the review process, the examiner may ask for information such as the trademark transfer contract. The review time is approximately 8-12 months.

The fourth step is to approve the transfer and announce it. If the Trademark Office believes that the trademark transfer application complies with legal requirements, it will be approved and a "Transfer Approval Certificate" will be issued. The trademark transfer shall take effect from the time of approval and announcement.
