You can use the trademark status facility check of trademark office and enter the application number. The status is shown on the top in red colour. If the status is mentioned as Registered, you can be assured that the mark is registered. 

Assignment of Registered Trademark – The owner can sell his trademark to a third party interested in the mark. The process of transferring rights in a registered trademark is called assignment of trademark. The buyer and seller will have to execute an assignment deed and get it notarized. A stamp duty of three percent on the sale price has to be paid. The trademark can be assigned with or without goodwill of the business.

After assignment deed is executed, the buyer will have to file an application to the Registrar of Trademark requesting the transfer of registered trademark. The copy of deed will have to be attached along with the application as proof of purchase. The registrar will then check all the details and if satisfied, he will insert the name of the seller as owner of the trademark.

The registered trademark provides a unique identity to your products and is thus vital in providing recognition to your products or services. People remember and recognize products by their names and logos. An attractive and easy to remember trademark is better than difficult words. You can adopt a new name and after checking its availability make an application for registration. However, if you want to save time you can buy an already registered trademark and start using it from day one. It will also help you to avoid the trouble that could be caused due to objections and oppositions.

In case you apply for a new mark, we advise you not to spend significant money on its promotion, packaging material etc. unless the registration has been obtained. This is not so in case you opt to buy registered trademark. You can start using the mark at full scale from the day you purchase the trademark.
