Transfer Trademark Ownership — Form TM-P Assignment Filing
Selling a business, restructuring, or bringing a trademark into a newly incorporated entity? Until the transfer is recorded with the Registry, the original owner remains the trademark's legal owner on paper — we draft the assignment deed and file Form TM-P to make the new owner's title enforceable.
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
Under Section 45 of the Trade Marks Act, the assignee must apply to record the assignment within 6 months of the deed's execution date, filing Form TM-P along with a certified copy of the deed and the statement of case.
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
Under Section 45(1), the assignee must apply to register the assignment within 6 months from the date of the assignment deed — though this can be extended by the Registrar for a further 3 months on request in genuine cases.
Until it's entered on the Register, the original assignor remains the recorded legal owner. This significantly weakens the assignee's ability to enforce the mark against infringers or license it out, since their ownership isn't reflected on the public record.
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 — this is exactly the kind of ownership change an assignment handles. Rather than losing your original filing date by reapplying, the existing registration (with its priority date) is transferred to the new company through Form TM-P.
