Trademark ownership and use rights are separated. According to relevant legal provisions, if the trademark owner and the transferee reach negotiations on transfer and other related matters, they should enter into a written transfer agreement and apply for change registration in a timely manner. A trademark registrant can also license others to use its registered trademark by signing a trademark license contract. It can be judged from this that the right to use and ownership can be separated.
