An assignment of a registered trademark happens when the title and all rights of the owner of that trademark or service mark is permanently transferred to another person/organisation for a consideration or otherwise. Here, the transferring party is called the “assignor” and the receiving party is called the “assignee”.An assignment of trademark is quite different from licensing of trademark where title and rights of ownership is not transferred and only a limited period permission is granted to use the trade mark for certain allowed purposes.
