Trademark Assignment
« on: 04-19-06 at 05:51 pm »

CompanyA buys CompanyB, including registered trademarks and trademark applications.

These trademarks are filed with the USPTO.

Should CompanyB assigned all trademarks (registered and applications) to CompanyA?  If so, is this the website to do that - http://etas.uspto.gov/etas/t.jsp;jsessionid=estta.uspto.gov-15671%3A4446d9de%3A49875c3dae34317?

Thank you for all help.

Depending on the structure of the transaction, assignment of the trademarks very well might be part of the transfer of business assets from the acquired company to the acquiring company.  If so, these assignments should be recorded at the PTO.
