Trademark Transfer

Trademark Transfer

Trademark Transfer refers to the process of transferring ownership of a registered or applied trademark from one person or entity to another. It ensures that the legal rights of the trademark are officially assigned to the new owner.

A Trademark Transfer, also known as an assignment, occurs when the original owner (assignor) transfers their rights to another party (assignee). This can happen due to sale, merger, business restructuring, or mutual agreement.

The transfer must be recorded with the Trademark Registry to make it legally valid and enforceable.
