Assignment of trade mark rights
A registered trade mark can be assigned either in
connection with the goodwill of a business or independently and such
an assignment may be partial, that is, limited in relation to some
but not all of the goods or services for which the trade mark is
registered, or in relation to use of the trade mark in a particular
manner or a particular locality. An assignment of a registered trade
mark is not effective unless it is in writing signed by the
assignor.
Priority under the Paris Convention
Anyone who has filed an application for protection of
a trade mark in a Convention country, regardless of the outcome of
the earlier application, has a right to priority for the purposes of
registering the same trade mark for some or all of the same goods or
services in another convention country for a period of six months
from the date of filing of the first application.
