I will prepare and record your US trademark assignment and ownership transfer
Licensed US Trademark Attorney, Protecting Your Brand with Legal Precision
About this Gig
Selling a brand or restructuring your business? You need a formal Trademark Assignment to legally transfer ownership. I am Stephen Ryan Benson, a licensed US Attorney (#308868), and I will ensure your intellectual property transfer is legally sound and properly recorded.
A simple "handshake" or invoice is not enough to transfer a trademark. The USPTO requires a written assignment, and it must be recorded to maintain a clear "chain of title."
What I Offer:
- Drafting a professional Trademark Assignment Agreement.
- Ensuring "Goodwill" is properly transferred to avoid mark invalidation.
- Filing the Recordation with the USPTO Assignment Recordation Branch.
- Providing the Notice of Recordation for your files.
Whether you are transferring a mark to an LLC or selling your company, I provide the legal documentation necessary to protect both the assignor and the assignee.
Ensure your chain of title is secure. Order your professional assignment service today.
