Good to know
More about Trademark Assignment
Types of Assignment
Transferring a trademark legally is called Assignment. It requires filing an application (Form TM-P) with the Registrar of Trademarks to record the new ownership on the public register.
Important: until the assignment is recorded, the deed is not admitted in court as proof of title. Timely filing ensures the new owner can enforce rights and file suits against infringers.
With vs. Without Goodwill
- Assignment With Goodwill
- Transferring all rights, including the reputation and customer base associated with the brand.
- Assignment Without Goodwill
- Transferring only the brand name rights, allowing the old owner to continue using the brand for unrelated goods/services. (Less common).
Questions
Frequently asked
Something else on your mind? Call the office - it is always the same number.
What is the late filing fee?
There is no fixed time limit to record an assignment, but until it is recorded the deed is not admitted as evidence of title. If a mark is assigned without the goodwill of the business, the new owner must apply for the Registrar's directions within six months (extendable by up to three months), also on Form TM-P.
Can I transfer an unregistered trademark?
You can transfer the commercial rights to an unregistered trademark, but the transfer cannot be recorded on the official register, limiting the new owner's legal protection.
Does a trademark transfer expire?
No, the transfer itself is permanent. The trademark's validity remains 10 years and must be renewed by the new owner every 10 years.
