What should be avoided in Dalian flour trademark transfer?

Everyone must be familiar with flour. Flour is a kind of powder ground by wheat, which is the staple food in most parts of northern China. There are many kinds of foods made of flour, which are loved by many people. So which category does the flour trademark belong to in the trademark classification?

According to the website of Bajie Zhichan, the brand category of flour belongs to the 30th category of convenience food. However, what should we pay attention to in Dalian trademark transfer? If necessary, it should be avoided as much as possible.

The first thing to talk about is the issue of trademark approval. If the traded trademark is not registered at all, or the trademark is not renewed when it expires, or it is revoked and declared invalid according to law, then the trademark has no legal exclusive right.

If the trademark is not registered at all, anyone has the right to use it; If the registered trademark of the trademark is revoked, declared invalid or will not be renewed upon expiration, anyone may file an application for trademark registration with the Trademark Office one year after the date of revocation, invalidation or cancellation of the trademark.

Secondly, when a trademark expires, there is a time limit for trademark registration. In most countries, the trademark validity period is 10 year (some from the date of application and some from the date of registration).

However, because the registration can be renewed after the expiration of the registration period (if the trademark is not renewed after the expiration, there will be a grace period according to the situation of each country, and if it is not renewed within the grace period, the trademark will be invalid), so it is generally not too concerned about the deadline, as long as it is renewed on time, there will be no problem.

But the key point is that if the trademark registration is about to expire, the relevant parties should urge the trademark registrant to complete the renewal procedures. Especially before the transfer (the subsequent exhibition of the transfer is the transferee's own business), or during the licensing and pledge period, it is necessary to ensure the renewal of the registration of the trademark registrant so as not to damage its own commercial rights and interests.

Finally, there are some fragmentary trademark issues, such as whether the other party has the right to dispose of the trademark right, whether it has the right to dispose of the registered trademark, whether it has been specially authorized by the obligee, whether it is allowed by the licensee to sublicense, whether the trademark belongs to * * *, whether it has been approved by the person of * * *, and so on.

The transferee can know who is the real owner of the traded trademark and who has the right to transfer, license or pledge the trademark at present by looking at the trademark registration certificate, trademark transfer contract, transaction authorization and other documents.

Trademark transfer, as the most practical way to obtain trademarks at present, is closely related to the development of enterprises. Enterprises should choose reliable transferor or trademark trading platform to complete trademark transfer.
