A trademark grants its owner the exclusive right to use the registered brand name and/or logo for a period of 10 years, with the option to renew for additional 10-year terms indefinitely. If you are buying or selling a trademark, it is essential to work with the right professionals to ensure a smooth and legally compliant transfer.
The first step is to verify that the trademark can legally be transferred. This involves reviewing the trademark registration details, along with any related contracts or agreements, to confirm that the transfer is permitted.
Once eligibility is confirmed, a formal transfer agreement is drafted. This document outlines the terms of the transfer, including the rights and obligations of both the buyer and seller.
After both parties sign the agreement, the transfer is officially recorded with the relevant trademark office. The trademark records are then updated to reflect the new ownership, ensuring all documents and registrations remain accurate and up to date.
