With the Trademark Office’s system reopening after the holiday, Lao Yang from Putui Intellectual Property received confirmation of a successful trademark transfer. Despite the extended break, processing was unaffected: the transfer, submitted in mid-November last year, completed in approximately two and a half months.
Key considerations for transfers:
Similar trademarks must be transferred together to avoid office actions.
Single-mark multi-class transfers incur fees per class (treated as separate transfers).
For composite marks (multiple elements), only the core mark containing all elements needs transferring; others can be handled concurrently.
While recent crackdowns target fraudulent transfers, legitimate company-to-company transfers proceed uninterrupted. For businesses undergoing dissolution, transfer trademarks before dissolving to avoid complex post-dissolution procedures.
