What is a Trademark License Agreement?
A trademark licence agreement lets another business use your trademark for defined products or services, in a defined territory and for a defined period, usually in return for royalties — while you keep ownership.
The owner’s control over quality is the heart of a licence: without it, the mark can lose its distinctiveness. Recording the licensee with the Trade Marks Registry is optional under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 but can help in enforcement.
When to use it
- Franchising or allowing a partner to sell under your brand.
- A group company uses a brand owned by another group company.
- Merchandising or co-branding arrangements.
