Trademark Transfer & Assignment — Assigned. Recorded. Protected.
Assignment and transfer of trademark ownership - deed drafting, filing of Form TM-P and recordal of the change with the Trade Marks Registry.
Book Free ConsultationA trademark can be transferred from one owner to another through assignment, whether the mark is being sold, moved into a new entity, or transferred as part of a business restructuring. Until the transfer is recorded with the Registrar, the change is not effective against third parties.
At N D Savla & Associates, we handle trademark transfer and assignment for businesses in Nashik and across Maharashtra - drafting the assignment deed, preparing the application and following up with the Trade Marks Registry until the recordal is reflected.
Assignments with and without goodwill are treated differently under the Trade Marks Act, and errors in the deed or missed public notice requirements can delay recordal by months. We structure the transaction to avoid these issues before filing.
