What issues should trademark companies pay attention to when transferring trademarks?

1. Trademark transfer must be approved by the National Trademark Office to be protected by law, otherwise the transfer will be deemed invalid. Article 42 of the Trademark Law stipulates: When transferring a registered trademark, the transferor and the transferee shall sign a transfer agreement and submit applications to the Trademark Office at the same time. The transferee shall ensure the quality of the goods using the registered trademark.

2. When a registered trademark is transferred, the trademark registrant shall transfer all similar trademarks registered on the same goods, or identical or similar trademarks registered on similar goods. This is also stipulated in Article 42 of the Trademark Law. For example, if you have three similar trademarks, you must transfer them together. You cannot transfer only one or two of them.

3. If the trademark transferor is licensing others to use its registered trademark, it must obtain the consent of the licensee before transferring it to a third party. To put it simply, if you have a trademark that is used by others, if you want to transfer it at this time, you need the consent of others.

4. If the enterprise cancels or the individual dies, and the trademark transfer procedures are not completed within one year from the date of cancellation or death, the trademark transfer procedures can no longer be processed, and the trademark ownership will naturally disappear. 5. Trademarks that are under application can also be transferred, but if the application cannot be approved, the transfer will be unsuccessful.

6. Both parties to the trademark transfer must have a business license, and natural persons must have an individual license, otherwise they cannot apply.

7. Notarization of trademark transfer is not necessary, but from the perspective of transfer security, we recommend notarization to prevent regret.

8. Trademark transfer cannot be suspended. If both parties submit an application, it cannot be suspended. If it is to be revoked, a second transfer can only be made and the trademark is transferred to the original transferor. Notes on trademark transfer
