There are two kinds of trademark transfer procedures in Hong Kong, one is to handle it internally, and the other is to find a third party company. If the company handles it itself, there are two difficulties. One is where the trademark comes from, and the other is whether the trademark transfer procedures are clear. If the company already has a trademark that can be transferred, it will involve the transfer process. Trademark buyers and sellers need to sign a transfer agreement before the transfer, clearly bind the transfer terms, avoid legal disputes, and then notarize. After several working days of trademark notarization, together with the application for transfer, the identity cards of both parties or the business license of the company, etc., they are submitted to the General Administration of Trademarks, waiting for the notification of acceptance, and the trademark transfer certificate can be issued about half a year after the notification, so that the trademark transfer procedure is completed.
