The Maryland Trademark or Service Mark Assignment Form is a document used to assign the rights to a trademark or service mark in the state of Maryland. The form is used to legally transfer rights from the owner of the mark to another party. It is important to note that the assignment must be in writing and notarized, as well as properly recorded at the Maryland Trademark Office. There are two types of Maryland Trademark or Service Mark Assignment Forms: an Assignment of a Trademark or Service Mark and an Assignment of an Application. The Assignment of a Trademark or Service Mark form is used when an existing mark is being assigned, while the Assignment of an Application form is used when a pending application is being assigned. Both forms require the assignor, assignee, and the trademark or service mark information, as well as a description of the goods and services covered by the mark.
