Trademark Assignment & Licence
Transfer or license a brand with a deed that the Registry will record.
Brands are bought, sold and licensed all the time — between family businesses, partners or group companies. We draft the assignment deed or licence agreement, advise on stamp duty, and file the request to record the new owner (Form TM-P) so the Registry shows the right proprietor.
Timeline: 5 working days | Government fee: Registry fee for recording the assignment, payable at actuals (₹9,000 per mark by e-filing within time). Stamp duty on the deed varies by state.
