Trademark Transfer

Trademark Transfer (also known as Trademark Assignment) is the legal process of transferring ownership rights of a registered or pending trademark from one party to another. It allows the original owner (assignor) to legally transfer the trademark to a new owner (assignee) under the provisions of the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

Trademark transfer is common during business sales, mergers, acquisitions, restructuring, or brand sales.
