Legal Definitions - partial assignment

Partial assignment is the transfer of only a part of a person's rights or property to another person. For example, if someone owns a piece of land, they can partially assign the right to use a portion of that land to someone else.

One example of partial assignment is when a person assigns a portion of their wages to a creditor. This means that a portion of their paycheck will go directly to the creditor to pay off a debt.

Another example is when a company assigns a portion of their trademark to another company. This means that the other company can use a part of the trademark, but not the entire thing.

Partial assignment is different from absolute assignment, which is when a person transfers all of their rights or property to another person.
