Selling your trade mark
You are free to sell your trade mark, like any other property, to someone else.
If you do so, you must tell us so we can record the change in the register of trade marks. This includes any change of ownership as a result of company mergers. The legal term for a transfer of ownership is an assignment.
Fill in Form TM16
To tell us you have sold your trade mark you need
to fill in
form TM16 
(33Kb).
There is a charge of GBP £50 for this, but the fee covers all marks you own.
Form TM16 is not a replacement for the assignment, merely the form that you should use to ask us to record it.
You and the new owners or their representatives must sign the form. If any of them cannot do so, we will accept other documents as proof that the assignment has taken place.
