How do I transfer my trademark to another company?

Transferring a trademark to another company in California is a complicated legal process that must be done in accordance with trademark law in the state. The first step is to contact the original owner of the trademark and the individual or company you are transferring the trademark to, to discuss the terms and conditions of the transfer. Then, both parties must sign an assignment or trademark transfer agreement that includes the following information: • The name of the official transferor, who must be the original owner of the trademark • The name of the official transferee, who must be the new owner of the trademark • A detailed description of the mark being transferred • A statement indicating that the original owner transfers full ownership of the mark to the new owner • An acknowledgment that the trademark registration is valid and subsisting After the agreement is signed, the original owner must file an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in order to transfer the mark to the new owner. The application must include the trademark assignment agreement and a fee, which will depend on the type of trademark being transferred and the number of marks being transferred. If the application is approved, the new owner will have full ownership rights to the trademark and will be able to use it as they wish.
