An symbol, design, or expression can be used to identify a company's products or services through a trademark. It also helps in distinguishing the items or services from those offered by others. It is possible for a business, an individual, a non-profit, or some other type of legal body to have trademarks.
The owner of a trademark has the right to sell, share, licence, or transfer the trademark, just like any other asset. Trademark Assignment or licencing can be used to convey this form of ownership.
While trademark remain the property of the owner, some rights are granted to a third party in the case of licencing. With or without the business's goodwill, a trademark can be assigned. Assignment of a trademark, on the other hand, necessitates its entry in the trademark registry.
