Assignment and licensing may arise when a product line moves to another business or a new partnership begins. Instead of saying the brand will be given away, explain the transaction’s purpose. Will ownership change, or will use be permitted for particular activities? This shapes preparation. Parties using the same word differently can create mismatched expectations in a draft; agree on a shared transaction description at the start.

Assignment transfers ownership; licensing regulates permission to use. Article 24 of the Industrial Property Law concerns licences and Article 148 legal transactions; an assignment contract requires notarisation.

Identify each record separately instead of assuming every name used by the company is included, so both parties understand the assets under discussion.

Do not include only the registration certificate. Existing licences, commercial agreements and earlier ownership-change documents may also be relevant. Check which records are current and who has signing authority. Keep old drafts separate from signed agreements. In a partner briefing, distinguish documented information from questions still under review to reduce misunderstanding during due diligence.

For licensing, describe everyday use: products, markets and sales channels. Who approves packaging, keeps quality records and checks a new logo version? These commercial questions help drafting. A brief promise to use the mark properly may not tell teams what to do. Write simple operational examples so the parties can discuss concrete issues in the draft.

For assignment, list other assets intended to move alongside the trademark. A domain, social account, artwork and product photographs should not be treated as automatically transferred by the same administrative act. Discuss contractual scope, access and delivery responsibility for each. Identify material the former business expects to keep using. This makes post-signing handover duties clearer for every team.

At the final check, bring the transaction description, mark records, authority documents and operational notes together. Keep open questions visible for your representative’s review. Assign responsibility for signing and register procedures, and add handover records to the transaction file. This connects the agreement with daily operations. Written expectations and delivery tasks also make later implementation discussions more orderly. For the relevant process and preparation, visit /en/hizmetler/portfoy-yonetimi.
