Trademark Ownership Transfer Services

Transferring ownership of a trademark can be a complex and challenging process, but it's an important step for businesses that want to maintain control over their brand. Whether you're looking to transfer ownership due to a merger or acquisition, or you simply want to pass on the rights to your trademark to someone else, it's crucial to work with a trusted service provider that can guide you through the process. At Trademark Frontier, our trademark ownership transfer services are designed to simplify the transfer process and ensure that your rights are protected every step of the way. With our expertise and support, you can feel confident in knowing that your trademark will be transferred seamlessly and efficiently, allowing you to focus on growing your business and protecting your brand.

How Does it Work

A trade mark gives the owner an exclusive right to use the registered brand name and/or logo for a period of 10 years, renewable for subsequent 10-year periods without a limit in time. If you are selling or buying a trade mark then you need to ensure that you get the right service from the right solicitors. At Trademark Frontier, the process of transferring ownership of a trademark typically involves several steps, including:

1

Determine transfer eligibility

Before you can transfer ownership of a trademark, it's important to make sure you're eligible to do so. You should review the terms of your trademark registration and any agreements or contracts related to the trademark to ensure that the transfer is permissible.

2

Draft a transfer agreement

Once you've determined that you're eligible to transfer ownership of the trademark, you'll need to draft a transfer agreement that outlines the terms of the transfer, including the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved.

3

Record & update the transfer

After the transfer agreement is signed, the transfer will be recorded with the relevant trademark office. We will then update the trademark records to reflect the change in ownership. This may involve updating the trademark registration and any other relevant documents.

IP Contracts and Legalities of Trademark Transfers

A well-drafted IP contract is vital when transferring ownership. You want to ensure that terms relating to all aspects of the trade mark and its resemblance are covered and that both the benefits and the liabilities that could arise in the future are clearly agreed upon.

You’ll also want to confirm the legal formalities surrounding a successful transfer and the trade mark itself:

  • Is the trade mark registered in the class you wish to use?
  • Is it registered in the countries you wish to operate in?
  • Is it still valid, or does it risk being struck off?
  • Is that which is being transferred agreed upon (for example, is it a partial assignment or complete assignment of the rights)?

More to consider than you first thought, right? The complexity of issues like legal ownership changes of intellectual property rights usually requires a specialist lawyer to consult throughout the process, plus draft and review documents, contracts and more. After all, you don’t want to get something wrong, or not account for a particular situation, and then run the risk of a costly dispute in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions!

Anybody introducing a new brand identity or planning on offering newly branded services or products should take the necessary steps to protect their trademark.

The answer to this question will differ from agency to agency and based on staffing changes and enhanced technologies at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. If you’re asking us specifically, you can count on the entire application process to take from 08 to 12 months.

It can take up to 10 years. Also, the registration can easily be renewed so long as you have made sure to maintain an uninterrupted use of your trademark in interstate commerce.

If you have a federally registered trademark, you will be able to use the ® symbol. For every other mark, whether unregistered or registered, you will not be required to add a designation. However, we always advise mark owners to attach the ‘SM’ or ‘TM’ symbol to tell the industry that your company name, logo, or symbol is proprietary to your services or goods.

We always tell our clients that we aren’t ‘oddsmakers’. In other words, you get exactly what you pay for. Our teams are skilled in improving the likelihood of your success. They perform clearance to search for similar trademarks before sending out an application and picking a highly distinctive mark.
