Trademark assignment and ownership transfer in Ahmedabad
A business sale, founder-to-company transfer or restructuring may require trademark ownership to change. First check who owns the mark, whether it is pending or registered and which goods or services will transfer. The deed should accurately describe the transaction and whether goodwill is included. For a registered mark, title is recorded through Form TM-P under Section 45. Assignment without goodwill has additional requirements that need separate review.

How it works
Assignment Deed Drafted
We draft the assignment deed recording the transfer of ownership from the assignor to the assignee, along with a statement of case explaining the circumstances of the transfer.
Deed Executed & Stamped
The deed is signed by both parties and stamped as per applicable stamp duty — required before it can be filed with the Registry.
Form TM-P Filed
For a registered mark, apply promptly in Form TM-P to record title under Section 45 and Rules 75–76 with the appropriate assignment evidence. Section 45 has no general six-month filing deadline. Assignment without goodwill has a separate Section 42 advertising-directions requirement.
Register Updated
Once the Registrar is satisfied, the Trade Marks Register is updated to show the assignee as the new registered proprietor — only after this does the new owner's title become fully enforceable against third parties.

Trademark Assignment & Transfer ↗Frequently asked questions
Section 45 does not set a general six-month deadline for recordal. Apply promptly in Form TM-P with the appropriate evidence. The six-month period in Section 42 concerns applying for advertising directions for an assignment without goodwill; the Registrar may allow further time not exceeding three months in aggregate for that requirement.
The deed and transaction determine the claimed transfer, while the register must be updated through the appropriate recordal procedure. Section 45(4) protects a person who acquires a conflicting interest without knowledge before the recordal application is filed. Do not assume that the old recorded proprietor remains the substantive owner regardless of the deed. Apply promptly and check the transfer documents.
Yes — a trademark can be assigned "with goodwill" (transferred along with the business it's associated with) or, in most cases, "without goodwill" (transferred independently of the business), though the latter has some restrictions to prevent public confusion about the origin of goods.
The e-filing fee for recording an assignment under Section 45 is ₹9,000 per trademark, in addition to any professional fees for drafting the deed and statement of case.
No. Incorporation alone does not transfer an individual's mark to the new company or LLP. Review an appropriate assignment.
No. A name change of the same legal entity differs from a transfer to a different owner. Check the supporting records.
Send application or registration details, the current and proposed owners' legal details, the transaction terms and any signed deed already available.
No. The deed and subsequent steps should match the actual business transfer. Assignment without goodwill requires particular attention.
Potentially yes, subject to the rights transferred and an appropriate licence. Assignment transfers ownership; licensing permits use on agreed terms.
