Low. Generally speaking, there are many advantages to trademark transfer. During the trademark transfer process, what issues should be paid attention to when preparing trademark transfer materials?
The trademark transfer process is for the trademark buyer to submit an application to the industrial and commercial administration, which will accept and review the application in accordance with the trademark buyer's requirements. After passing the review, a trademark transfer announcement will be issued. If no one raises any objection during the announcement period, the industrial and commercial administration authority will issue a trademark transfer certificate through a trademark transfer application. During the trademark transfer process, both the buyer and the seller need to sign a trademark transfer agreement or contract. The trademark holder needs to notarize the trademark, usually within 3 to 5 working days, and obtain a trademark application notarization certificate. Submit the prepared materials and notarized documents to the Trademark Office, and pay the transfer fee, which is generally 1,000 yuan. The Trademark Office will issue an acceptance letter within one to two months and begin review. The Trademark Office shall issue an announcement within 5 to 8 months from the date of acceptance and issue a certificate approving the transfer of registered trademarks to both parties.
In addition to the information in the trademark transfer process, there is also trademark transfer information that both parties need to prepare. When applying for trademark transfer or registered trademark, both parties to the trademark transfer shall sign and seal. The identity documents of the transferor and transferee should be provided. If the trademark owner is a legal person, a license must also be provided. The trademark owner needs to provide a registered trademark certificate. If the trademark transfer company is the agent accepting the trademark transfer, the original and copy of the agent's ID card are also required. If the application documents are in a foreign language, a Chinese translation signed and confirmed by a translation agency is also required.
After the trademark transfer is completed, the transferee shall enjoy the exclusive right to use the trademark from the date of announcement.
