A: According to official CNIPA timelines, the review and approval process generally takes 2 to 5 months, depending on case complexity and backend examination speed.
A: The essential files include the Application for Trademark Transfer, executed corporate identity proofs (e.g., Business Registration Certificates or passports for individuals), and the signed Transfer Agreement. If a Power of Attorney (POA) is needed, we will provide a streamlined template.
A: Yes, batch submissions are allowed. However, you must strictly satisfy the "Associated Mark" requirement. If the assignor holds similar marks in similar classes, they must all be transferred together, or the entire application will be blocked.
A: If the assignor wishes to keep or exclude certain similar marks, those marks must be voluntarily canceled or partially canceled before submitting the transfer application. Alternatively, if those marks have not been used for three consecutive years, a non-use cleanup strategy can be deployed. We will advise you on the optimal path.
A: Yes. Trademarks that are still under substantive examination can have their "Application Rights" transferred to a new assignee. This is highly beneficial for cross-border e-commerce sellers needing immediate brand ownership records.
A: Yes, partial transfers are legally permissible, provided they do not violate the "Associated Mark" rule. You cannot split a single mark's highly similar items between two different owners.
A: Rejections typically stem from overlooked similar marks, potential public confusion, or incomplete documentation. If a refusal notice is issued, our team will diagnose the root cause, adjust the portfolio strategy, and re-file or implement remedial measures immediately.
A: The standard CNIPA official filing fee is 450 RMB per class for e-filing (500 RMB for paper filings). Agency service fees are quoted separately. (Note: Official fees are paid to the CNIPA in RMB; we provide transparent conversion invoices for international corporate payments).
A: 100% managed by PUYIZHICHAN professionals. All cases are processed in-house to protect your sensitive corporate data and ensure strict execution quality.
