Trademark assignments

If you run a business, you would likely have experience dealing with trademarks. As an important tool to protect the intellectual property of your firm, trademark assignments need to be notarised to prove their authenticity and validity.

Types of Trademark Assignments

If your business is looking to or has already sold, transferred or licensed a trademark, you may be required to notarise the assignment if you wish to register it in a foreign jurisdiction. Kent Notaries can assist you with notarisation services for all forms of trademark assignment, including the following:

Complete Assignment
