Rhode Island Assignment of Trademark Or Service Mark is a legal instrument that allows a trademark or service mark owner to transfer rights of the mark to another party. The assignment can be either part of the mark or the entirety of the rights in the mark, including the ability to sue for infringement. The assignee is given the right to use the mark and the assignor relinquishes all rights to it. There are two types of Rhode Island Assignment of Trademark Or Service Mark: an assignment with goodwill and an assignment without goodwill. An assignment with goodwill is when the assignor transfers the trademark or service mark with the associated business goodwill, while an assignment without goodwill is when the assignor only transfers the rights to the trademark or service mark without any associated business goodwill.
