Upon dissolution of the trademark each joint owner of the mark, shall not be eligible to use the mark any further on an individual basis. 

Irrespective of the grounds of dissolution, if both the joint owners of the trademark mutually agree, to transfer the rights vested in them as per the provisions of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 (through assignment), to either of them, to carry forward the business individually under the same joint trade-name, the same can be carried out by the conditions mutually agreed upon by them at the time of dissolution.

Intellectual property is an asset for the company. It’s treated the same as real estate or physical property. The majority of the time, all of the company assets get sold at auction. 

If the company goes into bankruptcy, all assets are liquidated and sold for a fraction of their value at auction. This includes any intellectual property assets that are in the company’s name. Anyone has the opportunity to participate in the auction and purchase the IP.

A similar type of sale happens when the founders of the company voluntarily dissolve the company. If the founders do not have an agreement for ownership retention, then the IP gets sold with the other assets. 

On a rare occasion, a company will close without selling the intellectual property. In this situation, the ownership is acquired by the shareholders. However, this is rarely documented and often transferred incorrectly. 

In the company's books of accounts, the trademark is shown as an intangible asset, right? In that case, the company may very well transfer the trademark to another by way of sale, by complying with the statutory requirements.

Dear Client,

If you dissolve your company, there will be no goods left and no goods means no trademark. But if you want to continue that trademark with your another company, you can transfer that trademark in the name of your other/new company.

Thank You.

It can be surrendered if you want
