Can I assign the international registration and not the basic trade mark or vice versa?
Yes. The international registration and the basic trade mark can be independently owned. If however you are within the 5 year dependency period and you assign your basic trade mark, you will need to ensure the new owner of the basic trade mark will maintain the registration so that there is no adverse impact on your international registration.
