a. Any mark and its registration or application for registration shall be assignable with the good will of the business in which the mark is used, or with that part of the good will of the business connected with the use of and symbolized by the mark. Assignment shall be by instruments in writing duly executed and shall be recorded with the Secretary of State upon the payment of the recording fee payable to the Secretary of State.

Other instruments which relate to a mark registered or application pending pursuant to this act, including, but not limited to, a change of owner name, shall be recorded by the Secretary of State upon the payment of the recording fee established by and payable to the Secretary of State, provided that the instrument is in writing and executed by the applicant or registrant. Instruments recordable under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, such as security interests and mortgages, and their recordation, shall continue to be governed by and recorded under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.
c. Acknowledgement by the assignee or transferee shall be prima facie evidence of the execution of an assignment or other instrument and, when recorded by the Secretary of State, the record shall be prima facie evidence of execution.
