既然闲置商标已经占据了一定资源,而且还有被撤销的风险。实践中,一些商标在注册后较长时间不会投入实际使用,有些甚至从来没有被使用过,一直处于“闲置”状态。如何合理利用这些商标,进而给自己带来更大的价值呢?
1、转让。为了顺利获得商标注册,或者为了尽快拥有注册商标,申请人有时会与“闲置商标”的注册人协商转让。与申请注册相比,转让程序更加快捷,权利状态也很明确。如果注册人愿意放弃自己对商标的所有权,可以考虑将闲置商标有偿转让给他人。
In order to secure the registration of trademarks, or registered trademarks owned order as soon as possible, sometimes in consultation with the applicants' idle trademark "transfer of a registered person. Compared with the application for registration, the transfer process more efficient, the rights of the state is also very clear. If the registrant is willing to give up their ownership of the trademark, the trademark can be considered idle paid transfer to others.
2、许可他人使用。如果将闲置商标许可他人使用,这件商标就没有了因长期不使用而被撤销的风险。如果被许可人经营得当,可能会给商标所有人带来意想不到的收益。
If the idle trademark license others to use, this trademark is no risk of long-term use and has been revoked. If Licensee operating properly, the trademark owner may give unexpected gains.
商标的功能在于“在生产经营活动中,区分商品和服务的来源”。如果注册商标长期闲置不投入实际使用,商标的作用得不到体现,既是资源的浪费,也对他人造成困扰,同时注册人自身也随时面临权利丧失的风险,因此商标注册人一定要珍惜这种无形资产。
