TRADEMARK ASSIGNMENT
Licensing of a registered trademark A licence to use a registered trademark may be general or limited; and it may be exclusive or non-exclusive. The licence is binding on a successor in title to the grantor's interest, unless the licence provides otherwise. Where the licence so provides, the licensee may grant a sub-licence. Assignment of a registered trademark A registered trademark is transmissible by assignment, testamentary disposition or by operation of law in the same way as other personal or moveable property. A trademark registered or in application stage may be assigned both independently and as part of the transferred goodwill of a business. An assignment may be partial and limited so as to apply only to some but not all of the goods or services for which the trademark is registered; or to the use of the trademark in a particular manner or a particular locality. Documents Required
Specific Detail Requirements Other details which will be required to record the assignment are: (i) the Trademark Registration Numbers of the marks assigned and the respective Classes in which such marks are registered; (ii) the full name, address and post-code of the assignor and of the assignee appearing on the assignment document; and (iii) the date of the assignment, i.e. the date appearing on the assignment document.
