If the trademark transfer is unsuccessful, will we be refunded the full amount?

Q: If the trademark transfer is unsuccessful, will we get a full refund? A: If the trademark transfer is unsuccessful, we can get a full refund. So far, there has been no failure. Most of the reasons for the failure are that the trademark is not transferred together, or the information is wrongly written and the holder's information is untrue. The decision of the Trademark Office not to approve the application for transfer is based on the provisions of Article 25, paragraph 3, of the Regulations on the Purchase and Use of Trademark Law on not approving the application for transfer of registered trademarks that may cause misidentification, confusion or other adverse effects. The transfer of a registered trademark is a way for the trademark owner to exercise his right of disposition. However, after long-term use, registered trademarks may be well known to the relevant public, and consumers may associate goods using the same registered trademark. When transferring a registered trademark, it is especially easy to cause confusion and misunderstanding. In order to protect the interests of consumers and avoid confusion and misidentification, the law stipulates that the Trademark Office shall not approve an application for the transfer of a registered trademark that may cause misidentification, confusion or other adverse effects, and notify the applicant in writing and explain the reasons. For example, a county Lianmei Cosmetics Co., Ltd. applied for the registration of "Yaqian" trademark and "ARCHE" trademark on the third category of cosmetic products. These two trademarks were not judged to be similar in the examination of registration application. Therefore, according to Article 25 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law, they can be transferred and registered together. But in fact, due to the large amount of publicity made by registrants through TV advertisements and other media, consumers have linked the trademarks "Yaqian" and "ARCHE" together, and even regarded them as different parts of the same trademark. Therefore, if the registrant wants to transfer one of the registered trademarks to others, he must register the other one at the same time, otherwise it will cause misunderstanding by consumers.
