risk level indicator at Medium level

The Legal Risk Score of a Assignment of Registered Designs Template is Medium

Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:

  • There is a risk associated with the transfer of ownership and registration responsibilities, as the assignor grants the assignee full authority to apply for and obtain registration as the owner of the designs, which could lead to potential mismanagement or errors in the registration process if not handled diligently.
  • The document must be properly signed as a deed.
  • The document depends heavily on the accuracy of the warranties provided by the assignor regarding the designs, including title, encumbrances, and infringement issues, exposing the assignee to potential legal and financial risks if these warranties are later found to be inaccurate.
