Filing an Assignment or Licence
An assignment
An "assignment" consists of selling all or part of your rights in the design
permanently to another party. This party or "assignee" assumes your ownership
rights to make, use, import, rent or sell products incorporating the registered design and
to authorize others to do so.
Assignments may be recorded against pending or registered designs.
A licence
When you license your design, you allow someone else to use it in accordance
with the particular terms and conditions set out in the licence agreement as
negotiated by the parties involved. In this case, you retain ownership and
you can, in some instances, license more than one party.
