To put it summarily, in case of an assignment of a trademark, there is a change in the ownership of the registered brand and in case of licensing, the right in the trade mark continues to vest with the original owner but only few restricted rights to use the brand/mark are given to the third party.
Section 2(1)(b) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 states that assignment means an assignment of a trademark in writing by the act of the concerned parties. Both unregistered and registered trademarks can be assigned with or without the goodwill of the business.
The Act allows a registered proprietor to assign or license out the use of his trademark. The assignment and licensing can be made with or without the goodwill of the business concerned. A trademark need not be registered to be assigned or licensed.
Trademark licensing is an agreement in which a registered trademark owner, the licensor, grants another party, the licensee, permission to make and distribute products or services under that trademark.
A trademark assignment is the transfer of an owner's property rights in a given mark or marks. Such transfers may occur on their own or as parts of larger asset sales or purchases. Trademark assignment agreements both provide records of ownership and transfer and protect the rights of all parties.
A trademark licence is an agreement between a trademark owner (the licensor) and another entity (the licensee) in which the licensor permits the licensee to use its trademark for commercial purposes.
The term 'assignment' and 'license' cannot be interchanged. A license is different from an agreement. Generally, in absence of any provision to the contrary, the assignee becomes the owner of the assigned work, whereas in case of a license the licensee gets the right to exercise particular rights only.
