Assignment is one of the basic ways for most companies to obtain trademarks today. It includes evaluating the transfer price, submitting an application for trademark rights transfer, and also involves certain financial transactions. Therefore, understanding trademark knowledge is very necessary and valuable for businessmen. Among them, there are not only details such as the trademark transfer process and precautions, but also trademark transfer fraud that deserves more attention. Especially for those who transfer their trademarks privately, although the risk of trademark transfer failure is low, there are many other possible risks of fraud. So, what are the common trademark transfer frauds?

What are the common trademark transfer frauds? How to avoid them?

Generally speaking, we can summarize these frauds as follows:

Fraud method one: counterfeit trademarks or incomplete transfer of trademarks. In an age where anything can be counterfeited, trademarks are no exception. Some unscrupulous merchants will take advantage of the buyer's ignorance of trademarks, fabricate false trademark registration documents, and then give arbitrary transfer and sales prices. If a merchant does not know how to check the authenticity of a trademark, it is easy to be deceived. In addition, when a trademark is transferred, the trademark should be transferred together with similar trademarks. However, some companies may also retain some similar trademarks in their own hands and then transfer them to other companies. Therefore, it is very disadvantageous for merchants if two similar trademarks appear in the market of the same product category.

Fraud method two: virtual agent. Most trademarks are transferred on the platform. But there are also many businesses that will meet with door-to-door agents. They claim that how much a merchant's trademark can be transferred only requires paying them some very low fees. But often during the transfer process, they will use various excuses to ask the merchant to remit money to them. If companies do not distinguish the authenticity of these institutions, they can easily fall into the routines and traps set by them.

Fraud method three: There are big problems with the trademark itself. The role and value of trademarks are huge, but not all trademarks are valid and legal. For example, if a trademark purchased by a merchant has expired and is not renewed, the trademark cannot serve any valuable purpose. In addition, the trademark itself may also be used as a mortgage loan, and there is the possibility of illegal modification and use. Businessmen can imagine the consequences of purchasing these trademarks.
