Which form is used for trademark assignment recordal?+
IP India provides Form TM-P for post-registration changes including assignment-related requests. Select the exact request and supporting statement for the case.
Use a precise schedule of applications or registrations and the transferred scope; a loose brand reference can create ambiguity.
What does ‘with goodwill’ mean?+
It concerns whether the connected business goodwill passes with the mark. The transaction adviser should settle the treatment and any statutory consequences.
Does filing TM-P complete the commercial transaction?+
No. The underlying deed and commercial, tax and stamp matters are separate from Registry recordal.
Can a pending application be assigned?+
Assignment questions can arise for applications and registrations, but status and transaction facts must be checked for each asset.
Is Registry approval guaranteed?+
No. The Registrar may require evidence or clarification and can decide the recordal under the applicable law and rules.

Question
What matters
Next step
What is transferred
Identify each application or registration and the goods/services and territory covered.
Do not use a brand name alone as the asset schedule.
Goodwill
State whether the assignment is with or without the connected business goodwill.
Assignments without goodwill can raise additional statutory and advertisement questions.
Chain of title
Verify the current owner and earlier transfers against Registry records.
A missing link can block clean recordal.
Transaction terms
Address consideration, effective date, warranties, use, domains and enforcement separately.
TM-P recordal does not draft or validate the commercial deal.
Fee details, estimates & quote variables
₹5,000. Professional fee. Applicable GST, government charges and agreed third-party costs are extra.
One specified service engagement. Confirm the applicant, deliverables and exclusions in writing before work starts.
