[E-trademarks] : Security interest/assignment question

[Crane, Susan]

Yes. That is a huge loss of useful information. And one users should have been advised of. How many diligence activities have been based on erroneous status?

Scott,
 So you're saying that TSDR (you know - "Trademark Status") will simply just show the assignment "status" based on whatever was filed before the new Assignment Center--and nothing new--and retain that possibly inaccurate status indefinitely? While also displaying the (hopefully) correct ownership information?
 That is a tremendous disservice to users.

I believe that changed when they did the new Assignment Center and you need to look there now for actual assignment information and documents.  I found that out the hard way when I looked for an assignment I knew I filed for a client and it said “none recorded” in TSDR.  Scott

That's interesting since the assignments are usually available under the heading "Assignment Abstract of Title Information" in TDSR.

Thanks Annette.

I can't see the actual assignment document in Assignment Center, just the fact that the conveyance type is "Security Interest" and that despite this, the Owner information has been updated.

No it should not.  However, you need to look at the assignment form to see how it was recorded.

Hi All,

A just received a notification of "change of owner information" for a trademark I monitor. And indeed the TSDR record shows a new owner.

However, if you click to the assignment, it says what was recorded is a "security interest."  Recording a security interest shouldn't change the Current Owner information, should it?
