# Record an ownership transfer

Index: https://joinopenfile.com/llms.txt

Moving a mark to a new owner, like your new LLC or a buyer.

## When it's due

Any time after filing. Record it within 3 months of the transfer to keep priority against later buyers.

## What it is

We prepare the assignment document for both sides to sign and the cover sheet for the USPTO's Assignment Center.

If the mark is being sold together with a business, the assignment should include the goodwill. Our document does; edits to that clause are a question for an attorney.

## USPTO fee
