A registered trademark in the British Virgin Islands is
transmissible in the same way as other personal or moveable
property. Transmission can be completed by assignment, testamentary
disposition, or operation of law.
When a trademark is assigned, the owner's right, title, and
interest with respect to the trademark is transferred to the new
owner.
In general, prompt recording of assignment is important in order
to secure your rights to the registered trademark and put the
public on notice.
Partial vs. Complete Trademark Assignment
Under BVI law, a registered
trademark may be partially assigned or completely assigned.
In a complete assignment, the trademark owner transfers all the
trademark rights to the new owner.
