We manage assignments and ownership transfers with the corresponding legal documentation, so the change of owner is registered and protected.
Formalize your trademark's change of ownership
We draft the assignment agreement and file the transfer with the INPI, so the trademark is legally registered under the new owner's name.
A trademark can change hands for many reasons: the sale of a business, a corporate merger, an inheritance, or simply a company reorganization. In every case, the change must be formalized in an assignment agreement and then registered with the INPI; otherwise, in the eyes of the law the trademark still belongs to the original owner, even if the business has already changed hands.
We take care of drafting the necessary documentation based on the type of transfer (total, partial for certain classes, or due to a change of company name) and filing the registration request with the INPI. This gives legal certainty to both the party selling or assigning the trademark and the one receiving it, and avoids future problems in case of an audit, a sale of the business, or a dispute between the parties.
