Trademark Assignment

Trademark is a kind of property and like any other tangible property, trademark also can be sell, transfer and lease out (License). Such a transfer can be done through a trademark assignment or through licensing agreement.

Assignment can be done for Registered and unregistered trademark. Assignment is a transfer of ownership from one party to other party.

A mark may be assigned or transferred to another entity in any of the following manners:

Complete Assignment to another entity– The owner transfers all its rights with respect to a mark to another entity, including the rights to further transfer, to earn royalties, to license, etc.
Assignment but with respect to only some of the goods/ services– The transfer of ownership is restricted to specific products or services only.
Assignment with goodwill– under such assignment the rights and goodwill of a trademark as associated with the product is also transferred to another entity.
Assignment without goodwill– This is an assignment wherein the original owner transfer the trademark but not the goodwill attached to the products/service for which the original owner is using it. This means that assignor & assignee both can use the same trademark but for dissimilar goods or services.
