1. Process of purchasing a trademark 1. Prepare application documents. The application documents that should be submitted are: (1) "Application for Transfer/Application for Registered Trademark" (2) Identity of the transferor and transferee Certification documents (copy) (3) If the agent is entrusted, submit the "Agency Letter" issued by the transferee, and if it is processed directly in the acceptance hall, submit the original and copy of the ID card of the transferee's handler (4) Application for transfer If the application document is in a foreign language, a Chinese translation signed and confirmed by a translation agency should also be provided (6) A notarized certificate of trademark seller declaration from the notary office 2. Submit application documents 1. Application If you go directly to the trademark registration hall to apply, after the application documents are ready, submit them at the acceptance window of the trademark registration hall, and the staff at the window will confirm whether the application documents are qualified. 2. If a trademark agency is entrusted to handle the application, the trademark agency will deliver the application documents to the Trademark Office. 3. Pay the transfer fee. A transfer application requires a transfer fee of 1,000 yuan. If a trademark agency is entrusted to handle the matter, the applicant shall pay the transfer fees and agency fees to the trademark agency, and the transfer fees collected by the Trademark Office will be deducted from the advance payment of the trademark agency. 2. What should you pay attention to when purchasing a trademark? First of all, we need to confirm whether the trademark owner still exists. If it is a company, we need to confirm whether the company has been cancelled. If it is an individual, we need to confirm whether the individual has died. If the company is canceled or the individual dies for more than one year, the ownership of the trademark will disappear and such a trademark cannot be purchased (the notarization of the statement made during the transfer is the best way to confirm whether the owner still exists). Next, confirm the status of the trademark and the registration stage of the trademark. Some trademarks are in the preliminary announcement period, public objection period, reexamination period, etc., which will seriously affect the value assessment of the trademark after transfer. Trademark agencies generally do not recommend that buyers purchase such trademarks. Such trademarks may not be successfully transferred to the buyer's name or the rights are unstable when transferred. However, if the buyer takes a fancy to the trademark, the trademark agent will also make suggestions based on the situation. The price will also be different, and different suggestions should be made based on the actual situation. For example, a trademark during the preliminary announcement period may be opposed by others. If the objection is successful, the trademark will not be approved by the National Trademark Office. If a trademark transfer contract has been signed and paid in advance, it will cause economic losses to the buyer. The status of the trademark can be checked on the official website of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. Buyers can also log in to the website in real time to consult the staff of Zanbiao Trademark Transfer Network. It is best to purchase a trademark from a professional trademark transfer website. Finally, it is necessary to confirm whether the trademark has been licensed to others before the transfer and the time has not expired, or whether the trademark has been pledged or transferred before the transfer. In these cases, it is best to entrust a professional trademark agency to confirm. Due to differences in local regulations, the process of purchasing a trademark may also be different. Therefore, if you want to purchase a trademark, you can consult with the relevant local departments. In addition, you must first understand the trademark before purchasing it. If necessary, you can ask professionals to participate in this process to minimize unnecessary trouble after purchasing a trademark.
