    I don't know the legal aspects of logo rights, but i always assumed that the designer retains ownership of all artwork and sketches/comps, and the company pays for(by paying for the designer's work) an exclusive licence to use the final image in any way they deem fit.

    They don't own the artwork or comps used to produce the final logo (as they would in a work for hire situation).

    The point is moot really, as even if the company didn't have exclusive rights, how could you sell an already trademarked logo to another company?

    that's like asking to be sued(for the pruchasing company).
