Overview of Trademark Assignment
What is Trademark Assignment?
Trademark Assignment refers to the legal process of transferring ownership of a trademark from one entity to another. It can apply to both registered and unregistered trademarks.
This transfer may be complete or limited and can involve individuals, companies, or legal organizations. It ensures that the new owner holds the full legal rights to use, license, or sell the mark.

Why Trademark Assignment is Important?
Understanding Ownership Transfer Methods
Types of Trademark Assignment
1. Complete Assignment
Full rights, including the right to further transfer and use the trademark, are transferred to the assignee.
2. Partial Assignment
Only specific rights, such as for a particular product, are transferred while the assignor retains other rights.
3. Assignment with Goodwill
Transfers rights along with the associated business reputation, including customer base and brand image.
4. Assignment without Goodwill
Rights are transferred without the goodwill of the business, typically for use in a different business segment.
