Our company was bought by another company and they have acquired all of our trademarks. Do they have to file a new application for recordal of the insignia we already recorded on the FQA registry?

Yes, once the ownership of the trademark on which an FQA recordal is based is assigned, the recordal by the previous owner is considered “inactive.” The new owner may file a new application to record the same insignia on the FQA insignia registry in their name.
