<strong>Complete Assignment</strong>

All rights on the trademarks are vested to the assignee, including the right to transfer further, to earn royalties, to license, etc.

<strong>Partial Assignment</strong>

With this type of Assignment, the transfer of ownership is restricted only to certain products/services as decided in the Trademark Assignment Agreement.

<strong>Assignment with Goodwill</strong>

With this type of assignment, the value and rights attached to trademark are also transferred, which enables the assignee (new owner) of the mark to use assigned brand name with products and services already sold under the brand name and to use the acquired trademark for any new venture or products the new owner creates or manufactures.

<strong>Assignment without Goodwill</strong>

This type of Assignment also known as Gross Assignment, where the brand owner restricts the rights of assignee, limiting user rights and prohibiting him/her from using the brand name for the products already in use by assignor. Thus, the goodwill attached to such brand with respect to the product already being sold under such brand is not transferred to the buyer.

<strong>Restrictions on the Assignment of a Registered Trademark</strong>

Assignments that create exclusive rights for more than one person with respect to the same goods or services are not permitted.

Simultaneous use of assigned marks by different individuals in different parts of the country is not permitted.
