Intellectual Property Rights
Trademark Registration
The official trademark registration process takes about two years. However, you can start using the trademark once you receive the examination approval. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks from the application to receiving the approval notice.
Trademark Assignment
Trademark assignment refers to the process of transferring trademark rights to another party (whether a company or an individual) through methods such as trademark sale, donation, or inheritance. After the transfer, the ownership of the trademark belongs to the new party.
Trademark Cancellation
Trademarks registered by companies or individuals can be cancelled. After receiving the trademark cancellation notice, the trademark can no longer be used, effectively rendering the trademark registration invalid. This type of situation is relatively rare.
Industrial Design Registration
Industrial design registration includes the product's shape, structure, lines, and other elements. It is necessary to register the industrial design in order to protect the company's design; otherwise, it may be imitated or used by others.
