Third, the advantages of trademark transfer in Suzhou
1, time comparison
Registered trademark: 1 year (trademark examination efficiency table) (note: China Trademark Office does not specify the time for trademark registration, and the efficiency of trademark registration is directly related to the number of trademark applications in China, generally 1 year).
Trademark transfer: about 6- 10 month, it can be seen that trademark transfer can save time and cost (increase by 2 times). In a society where time is money and time is business opportunity, enterprises have an absolute time advantage in buying trademarks.
2. Comparison of success rates
Registered trademarks: According to the statistics of China Trademark Network, the official website of the State Trademark Office, the total number of trademark applications in China in 2005 was 593,382, while the actual registered trademark was 2 1873 1 piece, with a success rate of only about 37%. Although official website "China Trademark Network" of the State Trademark Office has made the trademark inquiry system public, there is still a blind inquiry period of 4-5 months. At the same time, trademarks have certain similarities, so registered trademarks are risky. Trademark transfer: the risk is very small. The transferred trademark itself is a registered trademark approved by the State Trademark Office and has been recognized by the State Trademark Office. Therefore, there is no possibility that the State Trademark Office will reject the trademark approximately.
