Port communicationWhat to do with the registered trademark after the company goes bankrupt? A company goes bankrupt for some reasons.，What to do with his registered trademark? Is it still in effect? We have compiled relevant knowledge about registered trademarks for everyone.，Let’s take a look! If you use a company to apply for a trademark,The company went bankrupt,Then there are two solutions：one、Before going bankrupt, the owner transferred the trademark to another company.,Otherwise, the company will go bankrupt,Trademark means the disappearance of the subject,will be directly revoked by the Trademark Office。
two、After the company goes bankrupt,In accordance with the provisions of Article 47 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law":If the trademark registrant dies or terminates, one year shall expire from the date of death or termination.,The registered trademark has not been transferred,Anyone can apply to the Trademark Office to cancel the registered trademark。Submission of cancellation application,Evidence regarding the death or termination of the trademark registrant should be submitted。
A registered trademark is canceled due to the death or termination of the trademark registrant,The exclusive right to use a registered trademark shall terminate on the date of death or termination of the trademark registrant.。This means that the company is cancelled.,Deregistration needs to be transferred within one year,If someone files a cancellation application for your trademark, it will not be processed after one year.,Then the trademark is in danger.,It's easy to be written off。
Transfer is similar to assignment,But the transfer procedures are cumbersome,Trademark Office gets
Require
Relevant documents of the liquidation team after the poster’s company has been deregistered and the court’s ruling on the ownership of intangible assets, etc.。Therefore, it is best to apply for transfer before deregistering,At that time, you can entrust a professional trademark agency to handle it for you.。The importance of registering trademarks and applying for patents. The most important thing about trademarks is their use.，Because it is just a sign that distinguishes other goods and services。
Patents focus on exclusivity，It is more possible to seize the market。strictly speaking，If others do not infringe your trademark rights, you do not need to rely on trademark means to attack competitors.(In addition to being able to compete and compare with opponents in terms of branding and product quality,，But it is not the function of the trademark itself)，However, patents can。
If a company only applies for a trademark，If there is no relevant patent for protection,，So the intellectual property protection this company does is still very rudimentary.。Others can still use patent rights to defeat you，Don’t say that the products you produce have no technical content，There is a kind of patent right called a design patent，Its main purpose is to protect the "design"。
my country’s Patent Law implements the first-to-file principle，There is no prior use like a trademark，It also does not protect products or methods that have been used before but have not been patented.。Let me introduce to you several types of enterprises.，Due to not paying attention to trademark registration or patent application issues，resulting in the trademark being registered by others，Consequences of patent infringement。
one、The company's products are mass products，At the same level as competitors’ products，I think it’s the same whether you register a trademark or not.，Enterprises only need to provide good services。When a company provides good services，The enterprise has developed，Only now do I realize that I sell more than just products，There are also services，Want to differentiate your service quality from your competitors，That’s why I want to register the company name as a trademark，Unfortunately, it has been registered by someone else。
two、When the company was first established，small scale，One-sidedly believe that it doesn’t matter whether we need a trademark or not.，Even think that the company name is the company brand，No need to register a trademark。As the company grows，I just discovered that my business name has been trademarked by someone else.，Companies have to re-register trademarks，to re-brand。
three、The enterprise is trading(or agency)company，Selling products from other manufacturers，For example，Exclusive agency，brand agency，Wait for unproductive companies，Often I feel there is no need to build my own brand。
but，When an enterprise develops into a chain operation，Only to find out that the name of your company has been registered as a trademark by someone else, or that the company has spent several years promoting others.(Products being represented)products，After aborting the proxy，Only then did I realize that I had made a wedding dress for others in terms of brand strategy.，And neglected to build the corporate brand。
Four、The enterprise begins to take shape，and already has a registered trademark，It even has about 10 registered trademarks，At this time, companies often think that trademark registration protection is already in place.，You can rest assured，However, this is often the most dangerous time for companies，because，As the company grows(Trademark visibility expands)，The phenomenon of famous brands has begun to appear，Some small businesses began to engage in unfair competition around the trademarks of successful companies，They are also gradually getting rid of the counterfeit trademarks of previous years.，began to engage in unfair competition under the guise of legality(What is commonly called a side kick)。
Therefore, applying for a patent is also an urgent need and must be done.。This is how you can protect your own interests。so，Want complete protection of intellectual property rights，You can’t just register a trademark or apply for a patent，To carry out overall protection of intellectual property rights，Develop relevant strategies。
