Registered trademarks can be transferred. So who pays the fees incurred during the trademark transfer process? The editor will introduce it to you below, I hope it will be helpful to you. Who pays the fees incurred during the trademark transfer process? Who pays the fees incurred during the trademark transfer process? Trademark transfer fees generally include two parts: 1. Trademark transfer acceptance fee: The fee for applying to transfer a trademark is 1,000 yuan. The acceptance fee is paid directly to the State Trademark Office, and the State Trademark Office charges an official fee of 1,000 yuan; 2. Trademark transfer agency fee : If you entrust an agency, you will also need to pay a certain agency fee. The law does not stipulate who should pay the fees incurred during the trademark transfer process. Who should pay the transfer fees can be agreed upon by both parties, but in practice it is generally borne by the transferee. What materials are needed for trademark transfer? 1. A "Trademark Transfer Application", which should be stamped with the seals of the applicant and the transferee; 2. "Trademark Transfer Power of Attorney" stamped with the official seal of the transferee; 3. A copy of the transferee's "Business License"; 4. Pay the trademark transfer application fees as required; 5. If you entrust a professional agency to apply, you will also need to pay some fees (the fees are determined by the entrusting agency). Procedures for transferring registered trademarks Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Trademark Law" stipulates: The application procedures for transferring registered trademarks shall be handled by the transferee. Therefore, when transferring a registered trademark, the transferee shall submit an "Application for Transfer of Registered Trademark" to the State Trademark Office. The applicants on the application form should be both the transferor and the transferee, not just the transferee. When submitting the "Application for Transfer of Registered Trademark", the transferee does not need to submit the original "Trademark Registration Certificate" to the State Trademark Office at the same time. It only needs to attach a copy of the trademark registration certificate so that the State Trademark Office can adjust the matters on the trademark registration certificate. After receiving the transfer application, the State Trademark Office will review the transfer application. If the application meets the statutory conditions, the State Trademark Office will approve the transfer, notify the transferee of the transfer certificate, and make the transfer public by publishing a "Trademark Announcement". In practice, the transfer approval certificate should be used at the same time as the trademark registration certificate. Under normal circumstances, it takes about half a year from processing the transfer application to obtaining the transfer approval certificate from the National Trademark Office.
