What is Trademark Assignment?

In Trademarks like any asset can be transferred from one owner to another. Such transfers can take place in the form of an assignment, or merger or amalgamation between two entities.

For instance: Assignment is where entity A assigns or transfers or transmits the rights over his/her trademarks to entity B.

In case entity A mergers with entity B, and there is transmission of trademarks rights from A to B, it would also constitute assignment.
