So, what's the difference between trademark transfer and trade?
Difference 1: Trademark transfer refers to the transfer of trademark rights.
From the legal point of view, the process of trademark transfer to others is called trademark transfer. Need to go to the department designated by the state. That is, the Trademark Office submits the corresponding application, then waits for the other party's hand, enters the examination, announces and issues the trademark approval and transfer certificate. Usually, the transfer procedure can only be completed after the merchant obtains the trademark certificate. Generally speaking, if the trademark transfer is successful, most trademarks need to be completed within 6 to 8 months. Businessmen need to pay the official fee for trademark transfer.
Difference 2: Trademark trading is a market perspective, which refers to trademark trading.
Any trademark sale is inevitably accompanied by the transfer of trademark rights, and vice versa. Entrepreneurs need trademarks to enter the market. Compared with registered trademarks, trademark transactions can undoubtedly meet the needs of entrepreneurs more quickly. So there are many trademark trading platforms. Sellers evaluate their trademarks and then put them on the platform for sale. Buyers use this platform to find the trademarks needed for the corresponding categories and design styles. In this process, the buyer not only needs to pay the official fee of trademark transfer, but also needs to pay the service fee of the transfer agent and the huge cost of purchasing the trademark.
Difference 3: Trademarks are sold and transferred in different places.
To sum up, we can see that there are still some differences between trademark transfer and trade. But other than that, the places where trademarks are transferred and traded are not the same. The former is the transfer of rights, which needs the approval of the state and the law, so it can only be done in the Trademark Office. In the latter case, the trademark is traded and the trader only needs to pay or sell the trademark. This process can be carried out on the platform or privately. However, the risk of privately trading trademarks is higher.
