Trademark transfer is one of the ways for enterprises to obtain trademarks, which is faster than the way of registering trademarks. If the company has idle trademarks, it can also transfer the trademarks through trademark transfer to obtain enterprise capital.
Regarding the procedure of trademark transfer in Zhuhai, China's Trademark Law stipulates that if a registered trademark is transferred, the transferor and the transferee shall sign an assignment agreement and jointly file an application with the Trademark Office. The transferee shall guarantee the quality of the goods using the registered trademark.
In addition, if a registered trademark is transferred, the transferor and transferee shall submit an application for the transfer of the registered trademark to the Trademark Office. The application procedures for the transfer of a registered trademark shall be handled by the assignee. After the Trademark Office approves the application for the transfer of a registered trademark, it shall issue a corresponding certificate to the assignee and make an announcement.
Where a registered trademark is transferred, the trademark registrant shall transfer the same or similar trademarks registered on the same or similar goods together. If they are not transferred together, the Trademark Office shall notify them to make corrections within a time limit. If it fails to make corrections within the time limit, it shall be deemed as giving up the application for transferring the registered trademark, and the Trademark Office shall notify the applicant in writing.
The Trademark Office shall not approve an application for assignment of a registered trademark that may cause misidentification, confusion or other adverse effects, and shall notify the applicant in writing and explain the reasons.
The materials that an enterprise needs to submit when transferring a trademark include: application for transfer/application for registered trademark; Identification documents of the transferor and the transferee (photocopy); Submit the power of attorney issued by the transferee, and directly submit the original and photocopy of the transferee's agent's ID card in the acceptance hall; To apply for transfer, relevant supporting documents shall also be submitted; If the application documents are in a foreign language, a Chinese translation signed and confirmed by the translation agency shall also be provided; Provide the trademark seller's statement from the notary office.
