How does one determine and or locate a trademarks jurisdiction for the purpose of including in an intellectual property assignment form? The trademark was registered by a California corporation.
A trademark does not have a jurisdiction the entity or person that owns it does. Are you asking how to determine in what country it was registered in? Is this a state trademark you are referring to?
If you need clarification, I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your objectives in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.
If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.
Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section): http://www.americanbar.org/groups/delivery_legal_services/resources/programs_to_help_those_with_moderate_income.html
