Trademark Assignment — Transfer Your Brand Rights
Trademark assignment transfers the ownership of a brand from one party to another. In short, it lets you sell, buy, or move a trademark with full legal effect. However, a weak deed or an unrecorded transfer can be challenged later. Therefore, Prospect Legal drafts the assignment deed and records it with the Registry. As a result, the new owner holds clear, provable rights over the mark.

Many people need a trademark assignment for clear reasons. First, when a business is sold or restructured. Next, when a brand is bought or licensed to another party. Also, when partners split and divide assets. Because an unrecorded transfer can be challenged, expert handling matters.
