Trademark rights are regarded as intangible properties. If a trademark right holder is a natural person, the trademark rights are succeeded by his/her heirs when the trademark right holder dies. If the trademark right holder dies without an heir, the trademark rights terminate. As trademark rights are meant to identify the same source, when the trademark right holder dies, an application for recordation of the assignment filed by the heirs shall be accompanied by the following documents in addition to the materials specified in 8.3.1: (§47Ⅱ, Trademark Act)
documents attesting the trademark ownership;
certificate of death of the original trademark holder;
a full transcript of household register (the applicant shall provide an undertaking stating it is the full transcript of the household register);
a letter of consent on succession (https://topic.tipo.gov.tw/trademarks-tw/np-533-201.html);
if the heir is a minor, a letter of consent from the legal guardian.
