Partial Assignment is a type of transfer of contractual rights or obligations, where only part of the rights or obligations are transferred to a new party. It is different from a full assignment, where all the rights and obligations are completely transferred to the new party. Partial assignment can be either a partial legal assignment or a partial equitable assignment. In a partial legal assignment, the assignor (the party transferring the rights) transfers only part of the rights in a contract. The assignor retains the remaining rights, while the assignee (the party receiving the rights) has the new rights. This type of assignment is commonly used when a debtor wants to transfer part of their debt to a third party. In a partial equitable assignment, the assignor transfers only part of the benefit of a contract, while the assignee receives the new benefit. This type of assignment is commonly used when someone wants to transfer part of their interest in a property to another person. Partial Assignment can be used to transfer financial assets such as debt or property, but it is also used in other areas such as intellectual property or patents. It is a useful tool for businesses to manage their contractual obligations and rights.
