Trademark Assignment Agreement

A Trademark Assignment Agreement is a legal contract that transfers ownership of a trademark from one party (the assignor) to another (the assignee). The agreement specifies the trademark being assigned, the effective date of the transfer, and any compensation or consideration exchanged. It also typically includes warranties and representations from the assignor about their ownership and rights to the trademark, as well as indemnification provisions protecting the assignee from any third-party claims. Trademark assignments must be properly recorded with the USPTO to maintain the registration and enforce the rights against others. Assignments can be useful for mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, or other business transactions involving the transfer of intellectual property.
