The transfer of trademarks, which can be through licensing and/or assignment, as seen in the present study, constantly incurs recurring legal problems. This is because contracts are drawn up by several different people with a certain freedom as provided by law. In view of this, there were several problems that could be solved with the guidance of the parties and the proper wording of the trademark transfer agreement. The present study encompasses the topic of technology transfer, more specifically the licensing/transfer/assignment of trademarks with greater legal certainty and in a more simplified way, both by law professionals and by lay people on the subject. The objective of this work is the production of method for the automatic generation of a draft contract for the transfer of marks, based on the proposition of a flowchart that guides the user from his initial need to transfer his trademark, to the generation of a draft contract for its transfer. In this way, it is expected that the elaboration of trademark transfer contracts will be, in addition to being automated, standardized and with legal certainty, as the tool will be supported by a range of jurisprudence involving the subject.
