For what purpose? There are few trademark reasons you need to worry
about this.<br>

This is a question for the firm doing the reorganization. If it's a
merger, you may not need anything. The particular state's law may
say that the subsidiaries assets become the assets of the surviving
entity by operation of law, so nothing is needed. The merger
document (which can be something like a single page from the DE SOS)
can be recorded at the PTO. But the transaction might be just an
assignment of all the assets, in which case you will need a formal
assignment. So it's really driven by the reorg folks, not trademark.
But read their assignment forms, they often suck!<br>
