Trademarks change hands — through a sale, a restructuring, or simply correcting the owner of record. The USPTO needs that recorded accurately, or your registration’s public record can fall out of sync with reality.
Recording an assignment or ownership change with the USPTO is largely an administrative filing — submitting the right documentation so the public record reflects the true current owner.
We help you prepare and submit that recordal. Drafting the underlying assignment agreement itself — the legal document transferring rights — is legal work we refer to our independent attorney partner.
We identify what’s changing — new owner, name change, merger, or correction.
We collect what the recordal requires, including the executed assignment where applicable.
We prepare the filing for the USPTO’s Assignment database.
We file the recordal and confirm it’s reflected on the record.
No — that’s legal document drafting, which we refer to our independent attorney partner. We handle the administrative USPTO recordal.
The public record can misstate who actually owns the mark, which can complicate renewals, licensing, or enforcement later.
Sometimes — we’ll flag it if your timing lines up.
Make sure USPTO records reflect who actually owns your mark.
